Working families CANNOT afford a #GovernmentShutdown! Jobs will be lost, services stopped, and folks with serious and immediate needs will be left in the dark.

The Trump administration needs to stop using workers as political pawns and fund the government NOW. #StopTheTrumpShutdown #FundTheGovernment

We can't wrap this Labor Day up without shouting out our brothers and sisters at the IAM Union Boeing Workers Strike! District 837 has been holding the line to force management to come to the table with a contract that their #WorkersDeserve.

Working America stands for folks who don't have a union on the job, but we're always inspired by what #StrengthInNumbers can accomplish. The IAM Union workers keep our men and women in uniform safe in the skies, but we know workers across the country are essential and know...

Earlier this year, we spoke with some folks in competitive Republican districts about what they're feeling and experiencing in this economy. Here is a little reminder from Dave, a voter in California, about what #WorkersDeserve from our elected officials.

Dave works hard and all he wants is to know that the economy will be more fair to his kids, so let's keep up the fight and make that happen! To learn more about this focus group, click the link in our bio and read all about it! #FFS #FreedomFairnessSecurity #UnionStrong

#WorkersDeserve an economy that lets them have one job and pay their bills. Workers deserve an economy that gives workers the respect we deserve with the dignity of knowing that we earned it.

Working people don't always know what to make of the chaos and division in this country, but we know one thing has stayed consistent. Management won't listen unless we make them listen.

This administration is setting workers across the country up for a tough road, but we're standing #UnionStrong with our brothers and sisters in the movement. And why do we fight? Because when we FIGHT, we WIN!!

✊✊✊ Our brothers and sisters at the @aflcio came together to launch a bus tour for Freedom, Fairness, and Security. Workers in this country are not stupid - we see what's going on. The rich getting richer, and the rest of us working harder and longer to keep up with the basics

The big, bad bill is here. It passed the House and the Senate and demonstrates exactly what matters most to this government. Defending the rich at the expense of the rest of us! They cut disaster relief in a time of endless weather emergencies,

they make Medicaid harder to access while people are struggling to access affordable healthcare, and they cut SNAP benefits at a time when groceries cost more than ever.

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ Speak up for #unionrights! Call 844-896-5059: Restore Federal Bargaining Rights Now @AFLCIO act.aflcio.org/call_campaign…

We applaud all those who defend collective bargaining rights, including @RepBrianFitz and his colleagues in the House. Thank you for calling on President Trump to reverse his decision to take those rights from federal workers.
Today, along with a group of my colleagues (@RepMikeLawler, @RepDonBacon, @RepMikeTurner, @RepLaLota, @RepGarbarino, @RepBresnahan, & Rep. Chris Smith), I called on President Trump to reconsider his Executive Order regarding collective bargaining rights of unionized federal workers. We support efforts to improve government efficiency—but applying sweeping national security exemptions to agencies like SSA, FCC, GSA, and HHS risks doing more harm than good. These agencies are vital to public service. Undermining collective bargaining in these spaces weakens morale, accountability, and performance. That’s why, alongside this letter, I introduced the Protect America’s Workforce Act with @RepGolden. This bipartisan bill restores a responsible, targeted approach—preserving bargaining rights and reinforcing the role that the worker’s voice plays in strengthening government. We don’t have to choose between security and fairness. We can—and must—protect both. Read our full letter below: ⬇️

Healthcare is way too expensive – that’s what millions of working people like LaRonda are dealing with in neighborhoods across the country. It’s time to make health care cheaper for everyone, regardless of income. #HealthCare #WorkingAmerica
