Employers trust them in their homes. But can immigrant nannies and cleaners trust their employers? Domestic workers — many of them lacking permanent legal status — live in fear of their employers, who they say are now more likely to use their immigration status to exploit them.

If you trust immigrant workers with your babies, your aging parents, and the keys to your home, you damn sure should be first in line to speak up for those workers when they’re threatened, exploited, and underpaid.

A union is simple.
It is ordinary people deciding they are done being played with.
Done being underpaid.
Done being overlooked.
It is worker power coming together,
and multiplying.

‘Power in the hands of people’: union leaders push to revive ailing US labor movement Organizers unveil new drive to reverse decline in union membership as workers seek to combat growing wealth inequality

60 million workers say they’d join a union if they could. Only 10% have one.
That’s not a lack of interest. That’s a system rigged for bosses.
Time to change the rules and put power back where it belongs: with working people. #UnionsForAll

Unions make slight gains in South, mirroring national trends The share of Southern workers in unions slightly increased in 2025, mirroring a small uptick in unionization nationally, according to government data released in February.

Under some of the hardest conditions in the country, Southern workers are still organizing and still making gains. Union membership ticked up this past year because working people are not backing down.
This makes one thing very clear: workers are not giving up, workers are gearing up.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.

Raising a child now costs over $300,000 in the U.S., study finds. See how your state compares. Raising a child through age 18 is most expensive in Hawaii, where a family would spend an estimated $412,661 in 2026, LendingTree found.

$303,418 to raise a child in America.
And folks still have the nerve to ask why people are angry?
Because this whole damn economy is built to break working families.

Happy Tax Day.
Reminder that billionaires get lower tax rates than the folks teaching our kids, caring for our families, and building our communities.

As a woman who leads a powerful, 2-million-member labor union, I often think back to the women who made my leadership possible. I wrote more about that on Substack, link in bio.

The federal government is giving the richest 1% a $117 BILLION tax break this year.
You are trying to tell me a tax cut for billionaires is worth more than the Department of Education, the Department of Labor AND the Department of Energy combined?
What the hell are we doing here?

Three unions unite in massive LAUSD strike threat: What's at stake for workers, families Three unions representing nearly 85% of LAUSD's 83,300 workers — teachers, support staff and administrators — threaten to strike on April 14 in an unprecedented alliance.

Three unions. 70,000 workers. One message: respect our work and pay people what they’re worth. LAUSD runs because workers make it run. Full stop.
If the district can find billions for reserves, it can do right by the people holding these schools together.

Children are losing food. Families are getting buried in red tape. State agencies are being gutted. And folks in power want us to call this reform?
Arizona is the alarm bell. The whole country better listen.

It’s not just about what happens while workers are on the clock. This movement is about healthcare, housing, wages. It’s about our communities and our dignity. It’s about all of us, our whole lives and the chance to thrive. We are determined.

When hospitals close, working people pay the price.
When care gets cut, working people pay the price.
When nurses, doctors, and staff lose jobs, working people pay the price.

The truth is right in front of us: when workers are struggling, when people feel trapped in jobs they cannot afford to leave, when younger workers cannot see a future, the economy is not healthy. It is failing the people.

@arnulfoseiu2015.bsky.social's leadership is grounded in courage, clarity, and deep love for working people. SEIU California is in strong hands, and working people are stronger because of it.
Congratulations. Let’s go get it!

Working people built this country with our hands, our backs, our brilliance, and our sacrifice. So when our communities come under attack, we do not shrink. We stand together. We speak up. And we fight for one another.

Employers are using your personal data to figure out the lowest salary you’ll accept Surveillance pricing came for your wallet. Now, surveillance wages are coming for your paycheck.

Using your debt, your search history, and your private data to decide how much you’re worth? Hell no.
This is what happens when technology is built to serve profit instead of people.
This is why every worker needs a union.
