Amazon rakes in billions during Prime Day—its most profitable shopping event of the year. Meanwhile, workers sweat through 100 degree heat, increased injury rates and speed-ups, and rampant union-busting. (1/3)

Thank you Governor Ferguson for addressing delegates at Convention, and for signing unemployment insurance for striking workers into law! #WAlabor

Oregon 🤝 Washington WORKER POWER Thank you to @OregonAFLCIO President Graham Trainor for joining us and for your leadership for PNW workers. #WAlabor

We are blessed to have Stacy Davis Gates of the Chicago Teachers Union at Convention, uplifting the history of worker struggle that is the core our country, and calling us to fight fiercely for our fellow working people. #WAlabor @CTULocal1

Day 2 of the WSLC Convention. Let's GO! 🔥

Thank you @AGOWA Nick Brown for getting us fired up to keep fighting for our fellow working people! “I love this damn country, despite its faults. I believe in the promise of America and what we can do."

Heather Kurtenbach, the first woman to lead the WA Building & Construction Trades Council, shares her journey — from incarceration to a successful career as an Ironworker — with Convention attendees. #WAlabor

It was such an honor to address the WSLC convention! When we fight, we win!

Thank you to @JPSmithEA of the @AFLCIO for joining us at the 2025 WSLC Convention and reminding us that when we fight, WE WIN!

WSLC Pres. @aprilr_sims opens the 2025 Convention speaking on the power of hope: "Hope must become our discipline. It must become an intentional and daily practice for us.   We know that it has been hope that has sustained our labor movement for generations. " #WAlabor

Tell every member of Congress to sign the discharge petition to get this bill restoring collective bargaining rights to a vote immediately!

We’ve got one more chance to stop harmful cuts to public media funding!! Take action now to stand up for good union jobs, local content, educational programs, emergency alerts, and rural access to news. Call 202-224-3121 to tell your Senators to vote NO on public media…

Short staffing, bad schedules, and low take-home pay are affecting Starbucks baristas across the country. Baristas in St Paul, MN spoke up to deliver a message to CEO Brian Niccol - the time for you to get back to work with us on fair union contracts is NOW!

Unions are committed to closing that wage gap and making sure that Black women don’t have to wait until 2227 for the pay they deserve.

Working people are tired of seeing the rich get billions in tax breaks while politicians raise our costs, cut our jobs and take away our essential services. This summer, working people are demanding a fair economy that works for us, not billionaires or greedy corporations.

America’s unions are hitting the road! While politicians in Washington make chaos for working people, we’re fighting for workers. The It’s Better In a Union—Freedom, Fairness and Security bus tour will build worker power nationwide and listen to the real needs of working people.
