Union busting. It's called union busting. And it's f-ing disgusting thehill.com/homenews/admin…
Job Corps is so much more than a jobs readiness program: it's a lifesaver for those who need it. Hear from our sister, Sharde Fikes, about how Job Corps completely changed her life -- and how she's committed helping to change others' lives, too.
A new report from @AFLCIO shows that top CEOs made 285 times what their workers take home. Their average compensation is $19 million. And Trump just cut health care for 17 million people to give those same billionaire CEOs another tax cut. aflcio.org/paywatch
💪🏽 Big energy in ATL today! @AFLCIO President @LizShuler met with @IAM_DeltaRamp and @DeltaAFA workers to get the latest on their historic organizing campaign. ✊✈️
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol makes $47,000 an hour. Baristas make just $16 an hour. Brain got a $5,000,000 bonus last year. Baristas got a free Spotify premium subscription and a 30% discount on drink purchases.
Starbucks had the worst CEO-to-worker pay ratio out of all S&P 500 companies in 2024. Their CEO received $97,813,843 in total compensation last year, or 6,666x more than Starbucks’ median employee. We stand with @SBWorkersUnited as they fight for their fair share.
The median workers would have to begin working in 1740 (before the AMERICAN REVOLUTION) to earn what the average bigwig CEO earned in 2024 alone. It’s time to level the playing field and stop the corporate greed.
Our new Executive Paywatch report is here, and greedy CEOs are back at it again. Top CEOs now make 285x what workers make and take home an average of $18.9 MILLION per YEAR in total compensation. Read our full Paywatch Report: aflcio.org/paywatch
"The typical employee would have had to start working in 1740 to earn what the average CEO received in 2024" @AFLCIO cnn.com/2025/07/23/bus…
The worst CEO-to-worker pay ratio out of ALL S&P 500 companies in 2024. WOW. When Starbucks and CEO Brian Niccol tries to tell us they can't afford fair union contracts... remember this.

America didn’t vote to gut workers rights. Today I stood with @RepJeffries, the @AFLCIO and members of the @Labor_Caucus and @USProgressives to urge my colleagues in Congress to force a vote on my bill to overturn Trump’s union-busting executive order.

The #BetterInAUnion bus tour joined @CWAunion members and workers in Charlotte today to rally with Wells Fargo workers who are organizing a union. Our voice is more powerful when we join together for a voice and a fair deal on the job!
So this is next level evil... thedailybeast.com/trump-admin-to…
@CWAUnion and friends rolling in deep against @WellsFargo union busting in Charlotte NC
Redmond: Workers are the true experts. Workers know what it takes to run this country. We build and maintain critical infrastructure. Workers care for the elderly, for children, and for our neighbors. It is we, the workers, who power this economy.
America’s unions will not let anyone gut workers’ essential services and safety regulations without a fight. Our #BetterInAUnion bus tour is in Newport News with @Steelworkers today to fight for veterans’ essential VA services and workers’ health and safety on the job!
A worker was killed. Dozens detained. Dr. Jonathan Caravello, A CSU faculty member and US citizen, was brutalized & disappeared by ICE for observing. Trump’s ICE thugs are escalating terror in our communities. Release them ALL. seiuca.org/press-releases…
Trump’s EPA put 130+ employees on leave for sending a letter opposing the administration’s anti-science policies. Punishing federal employees for speaking out is un-American. The workers must be reinstated immediately.
The petition is a “declaration of dissent” with the administration’s policies, “including those that undermine the EPA’s mission of protecting human health and the environment.” motherjones.com/politics/2025/…
Today’s decision has dealt a serious blow to our democracy and puts services that the American people rely on in grave jeopardy. afge.org/publication/su…
Philadelphia works because @afscme33 does! City workers are holding the line until they get a FAIR contract with the wages and benefits they deserve. One day longer, one day stronger, no matter what it takes.
One day longer, one day stronger! America’s unions stand in solidarity with @afscme33 Philadelphia city workers as they fight for the strong contract they’ve earned and deserve.
It’s day six of the @afscme33 strike and Philadelphia city workers are holding the line! One day longer, one day stronger. Philadelphia works because DC33 does. It’s time for a fair contract with the wages, dignity and respect they deserve.
