Give your boss the perfect gift on their special day and talk to your coworkers about your wages. It’s legal and very cool!
Happy National Boss’ Day to everyone who showed us why working people need unions.

We’re celebrating everything you’ve done for union organizing - because nobody creates stronger union members than a bad boss.

We are heartbroken by the shooting in Bend today, and our thoughts are with the children, families, educators, and community impacted by this devastating act of violence. No family should ever have to fear for their children’s safety at school, and we stand in solidarity with everyone affected.

Remember when we were told gas would drop below $2? Instead, we’ve had a record 158 straight days above $4. We have every right to be furious. We’re paying more at the pump while told lies about how great the economy is.

Shit’s too expensive for our South Central Federation of Labor union family - and for working people in Wisconsin and across the country. Let’s elect pro-worker candidates up and down the ballot to fix that and create an economy that works for all of us!

Let’s get out, protect the vote and win for working people! ✊

This economy is broken for working people.

The cost of everything is skyrocketing. Billionaires and CEOs are making record pay and bonuses while workers struggle to make ends meet.

Workers make this country run. It shouldn’t be this hard to stay afloat.

Ohio @ohioaflcio.bsky.social union members know: @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social has our backs. And we're going to send him to the Senate so he can keep fighting for working people and make this economy work for all of us!

Workers are living on the edge, working longer and harder than ever for less money.

The recent inflation report makes it clear this problem isn’t going away until we elect new people that will help workers instead of billionaires.

Working people are struggling. Their paychecks aren’t stretching far enough. They stress over every bill, let alone taking their families to dinner or go on vacation once in a while.

How do we solve the cost crisis? A union contract. More from @lizshuler.bsky.social:
Unions Are the Key to America’s Cost of Living Crisis
"As everything gets more and more expensive, we believe there is a powerful solution: unions," write Liz Shuler and Heidi Shierholz.

While billionaires and CEOs make record pay and bonuses, inflation is spiking and our paychecks are still stuck.

Shit’s too expensive, and Donald Trump and his allies don’t have a plan to get some relief for working people. They won’t even take responsibility for it.

College athletes deserve a strong voice on the job and a say in their working conditions. But the Protect College Sports Act would deny college athletes these rights.

We urge the House of Representatives to stand with athletes and vote NO on this bill. https://bit.ly/4dFttLj

Once they get there, they’ll find working people ready to elect Troy Jackson.

The majority of working people agree: shit’s too expensive, and the Trump administration and their allies in Congress have no plan to help.
