Connecticut has three union furniture stores! 🛋️ When you shop at union stores, your purchasing power directly supports working families across Connecticut. Support union workers and BUY UNION! 🛒

Are there UNION Dunkin' Donuts in Connecticut? You bet! ☕✊ There are 20+ unionized Dunkin' locations across the state. You can find them at any of the rest stops along I-95 and the Merritt Parkway. Connecticut runs on UNION Dunkin'! And remember: Don't Buy Starbucks.

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS! ☕️✊

For nearly 5 years, union baristas have been fighting for a fair contract — one that would cost Starbucks less than a single day of sales.

Take the pledge. Boycott Starbucks. Show that workers will stand with union baristas until they win a fair contract

Union members were knocking doors for pro-worker candidates in Colchester and Danbury this morning! How do we elect people who will stand up for working families? By showing up. Join the Connecticut AFL-CIO for our next labor-to-labor canvass and help elect pro-worker candidates across the state!

Unions are built upon the work of their membership. Republicans need to stop making workers the villains in their story and enact policies that allow unions to protect the basic rights of workers. youtu.be/O3hJQfuToYA

America’s unions honor the memory of all of those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, including more than 600 members of our union family whom we continue to mourn today. The labor movement will continue to stand in solidarity and honor their legacy.

Proud to have the support of Connecticut’s AFL-CIO and looking forward to working together in this fight. While families get squeezed from every direction, the Trump administration is attacking the right to organize, dismantling labor protections, and giving tax cuts to those who make the most.
