The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam that would make it harder for working people to vote.
The Senate must protect our democracy and our voting rights and reject this bill so we can make our voices heard at the ballot box.
Last week’s jobs report confirmed what many workers already feel: everything is too expensive.
President Trump and his allies in Congress need to focus on making life more affordable for us, not making billionaire bosses even richer.
Headline: Democrat's plan would eliminate federal income taxes for half of U.S. workers.
Relief for working people and making millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share of taxes?
Count us in. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/03/05/middle-class-tax-relief-senate-bill/
Congrats to the Belarusian Congress of Democratic Trade Unions and @mnaflcio.org, this year's awardees of our George Meany-Lane Kirkland Human Rights Award.
Our Belarusian and Minnesotan siblings are a reminder of how the labor movement defends democracy. https://bit.ly/4d8T4g7

Picture of steelworkers working with text reading, ‘Most workers pay into Social Security all year long. But millionaires are about to stop paying for the rest of the year! It’s time we scrap the cap.’
Anyone who earns $1 million a year stops paying into Social Security today. It’s not right—the rich should pay into Social Security all year long on all of their income like the rest of us do.
It’s time to scrap the cap so we can protect retirement security for working people.
At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity.
They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve.
As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them.
#StandUpForStandards
61 years ago on “Bloody Sunday,” Black demonstrators on Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge peacefully marching for voting rights were violently attacked and arrested. America’s unions honor those who risked their lives, and reaffirm our commitment to securing civil and labor rights for all.
On #InternationalWomensDay, America’s unions celebrate the women leading our labor movement, organizing unions and fighting for fair pay, safety, dignity and respect on the job.
Their fight is all of our fight, and we’re proud to celebrate and stand with them every single day.
When USLPA players stand still, the labor movement stands with them. A cut to the crowd can’t hide what’s really happening on the field: players deserve fair pay, safe conditions, and a real voice on the job. #StandUpForStandards
The Trump admin has harmed workers, unions and our economy by using violent immigration enforcement tactics as a distraction while they gutted worker protections, health care and good union jobs.
Read our new report, Workers’ Rights ICE-d Out:

AFL-CIO AMERICA'S UNIONS MARCH 6, 2026 As the attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran expand and escalate conflict across the region, the AFL-CIO calls for: • An end to the conflict, de-escalation by all parties and a commitment to peace, the safety for workers and our service men and women currently on the frontlines of the conflict; • Strict respect for international law, the United Nations Charter and the US Constitution that call for the people's voice through Congress in any war authorization, including through the War Powers Resolution; • A renewed commitment to nuclear disarmament and global dialogue to ensure sustained security and economic stability in the region and around the world; and • Full respect for freedom of association, freedom of expression and democratic rights for all workers across the region, including US federal workers.
The attacks on Iran have resulted in a conflict affecting people's lives across the region. War puts civilians, troops and union members in immediate danger and harms global economic security.
Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards
February’s jobs report confirms what workers already feel: everything is too expensive. Jobs are down in nearly every sector and the cost of living is crushing working people. Congress and the president need to get to work making this economy more affordable.
America’s unions are so excited to welcome the @pwhlpa.bsky.social to our union family!
Together, along with all 15 million members of the AFL-CIO, we’ll take back power for all working people and fight for everything we need and deserve✊
The @uaw.org members at Conn-Selmer make the last USA-made brass instruments. But the company chose greed over this great American institution, and is planning to close the plant, threatening 150 good union jobs.
Sign the petition and save Conn-Selmer!
The USL’s union-busting tactics won’t intimidate the players.
It’s time for the league to stop the games, negotiate a fair contract, and pay these workers a living wage. Solidarity with USL players!
We don’t normally side with fat cats, but we’ll make an exception this time.
Congrats to the workers at Crumbs & Whiskers in Washington, DC on winning their union! #BetterInAUnion
Our union family is growing!
At 65 unions and 15 million workers strong, the AFL-CIO is ready to keep taking back power for all working people and help women’s hockey players fight for what they deserve.
Welcome to America’s unions, @pwhlpa.bsky.social ✊ https://bit.ly/3N6FHTd
I’m thrilled to welcome the @pwhlpa.bsky.social to the @aflcio.org as our 65th union!
Women’s hockey players are inspiring a new generation and building power on and off the ice. America’s unions are stronger with the PWHLPA in our union family. bit.ly/4lkwBis
We're thrilled to join the @aflcio.org and stand alongside our fellow players associations and 15 million working people. PWHL players are proud to be part of the labor movement and will continue to fight for the rights and well-being of our members and all workers.

Welcome to the AFL-CIO Sports Council, Professional Women's Hockey League Players Association! | PWHLPA | AFL-CIO
A huge welcome to our 65th union and our newest members from the @pwhlpa.bsky.social!
We’re proud to bring the solidarity of 15 million workers to stand with the PWHLPA as they inspire the next generation of women’s ice hockey players and fight for what they deserve. https://bit.ly/4lkwBis
Good riddance.
Change is brewing at Starbucks!
Congrats to the Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas at Banksville Plaza on winning their union - the 21st Starbucks in Pittsburgh to unionize.
America’s unions stand in solidarity with baristas across the country as they fight for a fair contract. ✊
The labor movement is not intimidated by the Trump admin’s union-busting campaign meant to silence federal workers who refuse to fall in line.
We’ll keep fighting for workers in the courts, on the streets and in the halls of Congress.
"In every CBA negotiation, the goal of the league and teams is to divide the players. These negotiations are no different. We remain united and focused on delivering a transformational CBA for all members of this Union, and are committed to negotiating for as long as it takes. Our Union's nearly unanimous vote in December to authorize us to call a strike, if and when necessary, was not taken lightly. It was made with complete faith and trust in ourselves and our negotiating committee, led by Executive Director Terri Carmichael Jackson and President Nneka Ogwumike, to represent all players as we work to build a W that truly puts players first. Nothing has changed. That decision, and the results of our recent player survey, reaffirm that the current league proposal is not worth taking. Despite our differences and tough moments, we must make crystal clear that we are focused, we are resolute, and we are together. We want to play basketball in 2026. We want to be in front of our fans playing the game that we love. We will not stop fighting. There is no WNBA without the players."
Pay the players what you owe them, @wnba.com.
Solidarity with WNBPA players in their fight for a fair contract. America’s unions have your backs!
The Department of Labor was created to protect all working people. Weakening labor enforcement that protect wages and safety on the job because they are union members is a blatant and outrageous attack on *all* workers’ rights.
The labor movement moves because of the hard-working women who fight for workers’ rights, dignity and respect on the job every day.
Union women get sh*t done! ✊
The unemployment rate for people with disabilities increased to 8.3%, double the rate of those without a disability.
The Trump admin already gutted their minimum wage protections and health care access. This admin should be protecting our rights, not dragging us backwards. https://bit.ly/3r4FJwL
Federal workers serve the public, not a political agenda.
The AFL-CIO is joining this lawsuit because the labor movement is not intimidated by this administration's union-busting campaign meant to silence workers.
We’ll see President Trump in court. https://bit.ly/4b0hLJ2
