Last week @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social celebrated their one year anniversary, but they are still negotiating their first union contract. Join us in sending a letter to Sesame leadership telling them to agree to a fair contract! actionnetwork.org/letters/we-s...
“[U]nions must aggressively stay ahead of the changes and seize the moment by being adaptable, uplifting workers’ voices and mobilizing behind a clear set of moral principles,” writes OPEIU President Tyler Turner (@tyleropeiu.bsky.social).
Local 29 members aren't just fighting for their jobs and a fair contract. They're fighting corporate greed, the decay of our country's healthcare system and growing disregard for workers' right to collectively bargain
Endless solidarity with the Dameron Hospital workers. You are not alone
“In the richest country in the world, no one should have to choose between rent and groceries, between medical care and survival,” said OPEIU president Tyler Turner (@tyleropeiu.bsky.social). #NoKings

For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap has widened.
Women working full-time, year-round, now earn 81 cents for every dollar men earn. That's down from 83 cents a year ago, and 84 cents the year prior.
We can and must end the gender pay gap & ensure equal pay for equal work.
#EqualPayDay
The tragedy remains one of the most vivid symbols for the American labor movement and a constant reminder that the fight for safe workplaces must continue, as one workplace death is one too many.
#RememberTheTriangleFire
When a fire broke out inside the factory, garment workers inside — mostly immigrant women and children — were unable to escape because their employer locked exit doors and stairwells to prevent them from taking unauthorized breaks. In less than fifteen minutes, 146 people died.
OPEIU honors the 146 workers who died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire on this day in 1911.
"To me, being in a union means having a voice, having each other’s backs and continuing a legacy of fighting for better conditions not just for myself, but for everyone who comes after me,” she said.

The labor movement is our cause and our purpose.
From one generation to the next, we’re committed to standing for something bigger than ourselves. We must rise to the moment and take action.

ASL & spoken word interpreters keep our communities connected every day and deserve fair wages and better working conditions.
That's why, with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social and over 70 House Democrats, we are calling on Teleperformance to respect interpreters' right to organize ✊
