BREAKING: @DNC Staff Ratifies CBA! Staff at The DNC and members of @SEIU Local 500 have ratified their union contract...and it’s a strong one! Congrats to our members for standing strong, staying united, and proving once again: When we fight, We win! @AFLCIO @dncstaffunion
16 years without a raise—and they still expect us to survive on $7.25? If the minimum wage kept up with productivity, we’d be making over $20/hour. The system isn’t broken—it’s rigged.
Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?
Congratulations to the recipients of the 2025 MCPS Retirees Association Scholarships 👏 👏 👏 These scholarships, based on educational goals and financial needs, will help cover tuition, books and other related expenses, with awards up to $1500.

Happy Independence Day! To me, being a patriot means fighting for a better life for all working people in this country. America’s unions will keep standing up for workers in the streets, in the courts and in the halls of power.

100s of Virginians rallied to tell GOP Gov candidate Winsome Earle-Sears: #HandsOffMedicaid! Winsome’s response: “no comment” We need a Governor who stands up for Virginians, not one who’s too afraid of Donald Trump to defend our health care! #WinsomesSilenceMakesUsSick
