AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social at Tradeswomen Build Nations:
“The power that we have to advocate and fight for better, both in our contracts but also as a society, that's what it's going to take to open the door even wider.”

@aflcio.org
America's Labor Unions, representing nearly 15 million members across the country.
@aflcio.org@aflcio.orgThere’s 24 days until Election Day and America’s unions are out in force talking to working people with a simple message: Vote union. Vote for pro-worker candidates. Vote for an economy that works for all of us. Let’s win this election for working families! ✊
@aflcio.orgGood morning from the Tradeswomen Build Nations banner parade! Tradeswomen lead the way in our labor movement, and in Houston this weekend, we’re building incredible solidarity and worker power. Union women get shit done! ✊
@aflcio.orgShit’s way too expensive in this country—and wages aren’t keeping up. We’re all doing worse, except the wealthiest at the top. Join us at an event near you this weekend as we mobilize to elect candidates who will stand with us, not billionaires.

@aflcio.orgMaking your weekend plans? Join America’s unions at events across the country as we talk to working families about the upcoming elections and who will stand with us, not billionaires. Workers built this country, and together, we’re going to take it back.

@aflcio.orgGas prices are skyrocketing in Iowa. @iowaaflcio.bsky.social President Charlie Wishman said it best: workers are struggling to fill their tanks while Zach Lahn flies his jet back to Kansas. Iowa needs a governor like @robsandia.bsky.social, who is focused on making this economy work for all of us.
@aflcio.orgThe Trump admin has ripped up federal workers’ union contracts across the government, including EPA workers last year. But the workers are suing to protect their rights. America’s unions stand with them in their fight to stop this union busting.
@aflcio.orgShit’s too expensive. Our paychecks are flat while billionaires and CEOs bring in record pay and bonuses.
We need elected leaders who will stand with working people and create an economy that works for us. Join us: betterinaunion.org
@aflcio.orgAfter a federal judge ordered union contracts to be restored, the Federal Bureau of Prisons ripped up the union contracts of their workers. Again. Solidarity with our AFGE family in their fight to stop this government-sanctioned union-busting.
@aflcio.orgIf you live in North Carolina or Oklahoma, today is your last chance to register to vote before the 2026 midterm elections! Make sure you can make your voice heard so we can elect candidates who will stand with workers. Check your voter registration:

@aflcio.orgIt’s worrying that safety researchers at OpenAI were fired last week. Tech workers should be able to report concerns without fear of retaliation. Big Tech CEOs can’t regulate themselves. That’s why we need whistleblower protections and a real voice for tech workers.
@aflcio.org8% of households are going hungry. 16% of adults can’t pay all their bills in full. 26% skipped medical care due to costs. ALL while billionaires rake in record pay and bonuses. This economy isn’t working for us. Let’s vote to change that.

@aflcio.orgIowa: it’s time we had a senator who understands the struggles working families face every day just to put food on the table and make ends meet.
Let’s send @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social to the Senate!
@aflcio.orgWorking people are worried about their jobs and their futures. We need elected leaders who will protect working people from unregulated AI. We can’t let Big Tech CEOs regulate themselves, we need AI guardrails to protect our jobs, rights and freedoms.
@aflcio.orgWe've survived 2 economic crises in 20 years and a system that works for the rich, and out-of-touch politicians like Ashley Hinson blame us for not trying hard enough.
We need new leaders like @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social who get what workers go through to make ends meet.
@aflcio.org“Suck it up.”
That’s what Ken Paxton says to us when he threatens to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Working people don’t need more cuts to our essential services. Texans need @jamestalarico.bsky.social who will fight to protect our retirement security and health care.
@aflcio.orgHoy es el Día de la Igualdad Salarial de las Latinas, el día en que lo que ganan las Latinas alcanza lo que los hombres blancos ganaron el año pasado. La AFL-CIO luchan para cerrar de la brecha salarial y garantizar condiciones laborales más justas mediante contratos colectivos.
@aflcio.orgToday is Latina Equal Pay Day, the day that Latina pay *finally* catches up to what White, non-Hispanic men made last year alone. It’s economic injustice. America’s unions are fighting to end the wage gap for good and level the playing field with union contracts ✊
@aflcio.orgWorking families with the Pima Area Labor Federation came together today to call out Rep. Juan Ciscomani for his silence on rising fuel costs. Workers are struggling to make ends meet. Soaring gas prices won’t help. We need leaders who will stand up for workers and fix the cost crisis.
@aflcio.orgWorking people are not asking for luxury. We want some breathing room so we can live instead of barely making ends meet.
This November, we’re going to elect candidates who will create an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires.
