Any union member will tell you that it's #BetterInAUnion . Minnesota’s Labor Movement fights better pay, safer workplaces, healthcare & retirement security, more union jobs, and respect at the workplace. Get involved to help build a stronger Labor Movement. aflcio.mn/itsbetterina...

Better wages, stronger workplace protections, and dignity and respect on the job — that’s the union difference.

Congratulations to the production workers at The Juilliard School on ratifying their first contract. The arts are #BetterInAUnion!

Bernie Sanders, labor leaders warn of AI risks for workers Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and the leaders of several major labor unions warned Thursday about the risks AI poses to workers amid concerns about the technology’s ability to replace jobs. Sanders, …

The decisions that politicians make on AI at this moment will impact working people and their jobs decades from now.

AI on the job needs to raise standards, not erode them. That means real guardrails and workers having a voice in how it’s used.

I joined @sanders.senate.gov and union leaders on Capitol Hill yesterday to discuss how workers and their unions can lead on decisions about how AI is used on the job. If AI is changing work, workers need a real say in how it’s used.

Today is Tax Day. For working people, paying taxes isn’t optional. The same should be true for big corporations and the ultra wealthy who keep dodging what they owe.

As climate change accelerates and heat-related illnesses rise, the Trump administration is putting workers’ lives at risk to pad corporate profits. Weakening OSHA enforcement is unacceptable. It’s time to deliver for working people.

Tax Day is tomorrow, working people are getting their paperwork in - and big corporations and billionaires are exploiting every possible loophole to avoid paying their fair share. A fair tax system should reward work and deliver for the people who keep this economy running.

Today marks the start of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week!

911 dispatchers play a crucial role in public safety, bravely serving as the first line of response for their communities in times of crisis.

Trump administration personnel agency is asking for federal workers' medical records The Office of Personnel Management is asking insurers that cover federal employees and retirees to hand over details about their medical visits, their pharmacy claims, and more.

The Trump administration wants to access detailed medical records from millions of federal workers and their families, with no clear guardrails on how that data would be used or protected. This intrusion into people’s private health information is unacceptable!

On her birthday, we remember Frances Perkins, the first woman to serve in a presidential Cabinet and the architect behind Social Security, minimum wage, and the right to organize. She didn’t just shape policy, she changed what workers could expect from this country.

Tech: Kelly, Fitzpatrick push Trump on AFL-CIO AI views The impact of AI on jobs is one of the biggest concerns about the technology from voters and even industry figures.

Leaders across the aisle see what working people already know: new technology can strengthen our economy and workplaces. But it has to raise standards, not erode them. That means worker voices, real guardrails, and accountability in how AI is used on the job.

The AFL-CIO reiterates our call for de-escalation in Iran and the region. The economic devastation of war hurts working people everywhere.

ON STRIKE: Unionized staff at ProPublica walk off the job | The NewsGuild - TNG-CWA Unionized staff at investigative nonprofit newsroom ProPublica walked off the job Wednesday in a one-day strike in protest of management’s refusal to agree to a contract.

Staff at @propublica.org are on strike today after management refused to agree to basic protections, fair pay, and guardrails on AI. Workers have made their priorities clear. It’s time for management to bargain in good faith.

Today is Election Day in Wisconsin. Judge Chris Taylor has shown she’ll protect collective bargaining and stand up for working people. The stakes are real for union families and our rights on the job.

Make your voice heard.

Starbucks set to restart bargaining in April The strike is over for now, but the union still asks customers to boycott the company.

Starbucks baristas at corporate stores are stuck with low pay, unpredictable hours and no real protections. They’re fighting for a raise, fair scheduling, and dignity on the job. It’s time for Starbucks to stop union-busting and agree to a fair contract.

Punching In: Union Leaders Gear Up to Tackle AI in Future Talks Unions prepare to take on the Trump administration’s goals for artificial intelligence in the workplace. Recent high court oral arguments leave open questions on transportation worker carveouts under ...

Workers aren’t anti-tech. But no one should be surveilled, discriminated against, or fired by an algorithm. As AI reshapes our jobs, unions are stepping up to set the rules and protect workers’ rights where policymakers won’t.

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating. Wishing you a joyful day with loved ones!

DOGE canceled a grant to NC Central. It used ChatGPT to make the decision The list of grant descriptions submitted to ChatGPT for review had other North Carolina connections as well.

DOGE used ChatGPT to cancel grants going to NC Central, an HBCU in North Carolina.

They’re using unproven, unreliable AI to make decisions that will impact working people and their ability to get a college degree. It’s reckless and wasteful.

The workers behind Sesame Street bring joy to millions, and they deserve a fair contract that reflects their talent and value.

Our union movement is the power of the collective. Together, we can WIN! ✊🏽

No matter what industry you work in, every working person will feel the impact of AI, including those in transportation jobs.

@ttdaflcio.bsky.social President Greg Regan is right: we need guardrails to make sure this new tech doesn’t undermine our safety and protects our rights and our jobs.

Artemis II: What NASA’s Scientists Hope to Learn From Sending Humans to the Moon | KQED The mission will test life support systems, study deep space radiation, and capture new views of the moon.

The Artemis II program is a powerful reminder that big things happen when workers come together to get the job done! The Trump admin should respect the NASA workers who are making this mission possible by restoring their union contracts they ripped up.

Happy Passover to all who celebrate. Wishing you a meaningful holiday filled with reflection, renewal and time with loved ones. ✡️ #ChagSameach

Today I spoke at the PA State Fed Constitutional Convention, where union leaders and delegates came together to chart the path forward for Pennsylvania workers.

Workers are fed up with an economy that isn’t working for them and we’re turning that frustration into power.

A huge congratulations to our @nwslplayers.bsky.social sisters at Denver Summit FC and the Washington Spirit for the largest crowd in U.S. women’s pro soccer history! More than 63,000 fans filled an NFL stadium on Saturday and set a new bar for the game.

In this economy, working people don’t have the time or money to drive longer distances or wait in long lines to get a passport or other documents to vote—but that’s what the SAVE America Act would do.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. https://bit.ly/4s84swO

Musk has a plan to make human labor obsolete. Billionaires are joining in. Tech elites have seized on humanoid robots to transform manual labor and other fields left out of the AI boom, an area called “physical AI.”

Some of the richest people in the world are investing billions to automate human labor. That future cannot be decided without workers. Workers’ voices must shape how this technology is used.

On #TransDayOfVisibility, we celebrate trans workers. Every worker deserves a workplace that is safe, welcoming, and free from discrimination.

Trans rights are worker rights.
