America’s unions honor the memory of all of those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, including more than 600 members of our union family whom we continue to mourn today. The labor movement will continue to stand in solidarity and honor their legacy.

The #akgov could've transformed AK's public sector, allowing a moderate pension program to take shape. Instead, he wrote VETO. In an override attempt, the #akleg fell short. While disheartening, this is the furthest we have come in 20 years & we will keep going until it's done💪

After ~2 decades of fighting, HB 78 passed the Senate by 12Y-8N. Thank you to all who reached out to their Legislators. This is the closest we've ever come to restoring dignified retirement options for our teachers, firefighters, emergency dispatchers, and more!
