Trump’s executive order stripping bargaining rights from federal workers was union-busting—but we have the bill AND the votes to fix it. We urge every member of Congress to sign the discharge petition to get the Protect America’s Workforce Act to a vote. aflcio.org/press/releases…
If you put yourself out there as a “citizen journalist” but you never attempt to correct your posts when they are factually & provably false, aren’t you just a glorified gossip?
America’s unions stand in solidarity with @TheWNBPA players as they fight for their fair share and the dignity and respect they deserve on the court ✊

I'm a US citizen and a veteran. But it doesn't matter. No one deserves to be treated this way. It's inhumane and it's wrong. I hope no one goes through what I did. I want to do as much as I can so this doesn't happen to anyone. -George Retes, Unjustly detained on July 10th by ICE
What could possibly go wrong? 🙄
Some CEOs think it's time to build data centers on the moon. In a CNBC interview the CEO of one real estate firm says companies are looking to "monetize space" by building manufacturing plants and data centers up on the moon.
Excellent! The #caleg Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee approved my SB 7, the No Robo Bosses Act. SB 7 would require human oversight of artificial intelligence systems in the workplace to help prevent abuses. @CaliforniaLabor
We have the bill AND the votes in Congress to overturn President Trump’s executive order busting federal workers’ union rights. Call your rep and tell them to sign the discharge petition to bring the Protect America’s Workforce Act to the floor for a vote. act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns…
This is the parish in Gaza that Pope Francis would call every night.
Cardinal Pizzaballa: “What we know for sure is that a tank, the IDF says by mistake, but we are not sure about this, they hit the Church directly, the Church of the Holy Family, the Latin Church” Images of the only Catholic Church in Gaza before and after today’s attack.
We're short-staffed as it is. Now we have to worry about ICE intimidating nurses and our patients? ICE has no place in our hospitals! 🙅♀️🛑
The disabled Army veteran who was detained and held for days after last week's immigration raid in Camarillo is speaking out. George Retes, a U.S. citizen who works as security at Glass House Farms, is calling for a full investigation into the actions of federal agents involved…
Woohoo! Make America Mexico Again! IYKYK
"I have been speaking to @CocaCola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!" –President Donald J. Trump
The Department of Defense reported that the U.S. military saw its lowest recruitment numbers in decades in 2024. This administration’s answer? Fire veterans in the federal government, cut the VA and arrest veterans in mass workplace raids. Brilliant.
Did you vote for this? Thank you @UFWupdates for bringing George’s story to light. And thank you George for everything you’ve done for our country. Shame on this administration.

Congrats to @Massaflcio's @chrissylynch29 and @CaliforniaLabor's @LorenaSGonzalez for leading our State Federation AI Task Force! This dream team is showing the country what a worker-centered AI agenda looks like in our states and standing up to Big Tech's attacks on workers.
CA leads the way in fighting for guardrails to protect workers from the harmful effects of AI. We are thrilled @LorenaSGonzalez is taking taking the helm of the @AFLCIO State Fed AI Task Force, alongside fighter Chrissy Lynch, President of the @massaflcio. calaborfed.org/press-releases…
Abundance is only abundance if it includes strong labor standards.
Abundance for who?
This is how you know the administration doesn’t care about children they say they saved from slavery. The farm may have been in violation of child labor laws, and if so should be prosecuted both federally and by the state… but is this how you treat victims?
ICE march 2 dozen children shackled & handcuffed into unmarked vans—separated from parents. Attorneys confirmed details posted with this video—children were not accompanied by parents & were from Ventura County. "These are children, for God’s sake. Not hardened criminals. Trump…
Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We'll do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.
