America's Labor Unions, representing nearly 15 million members across the country.
Have a good weekend? Remember to thank a union and the working people who organized, fought, and brought it to us.
The union difference isn’t just about better pay, stronger health care and a stronger voice on the job — it means you can bargain for life-changing benefits that give you some real breathing room. Union contracts change lives!
Do you want better wages? Better benefits? A stronger voice on the job? A union contract can deliver all of those and more. Union jobs change lives!
At our 30th Constitutional Convention, the labor movement came together and built solidarity. America’s unions are more united than ever. We’re ready to take on greedy CEOs, corporations and anti-worker politicians and fight for a country that actually works for working people.
One year ago today, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” was signed into law. After dealing with the effects of this bill, it looks pretty ugly to working people everywhere.
America is union made, and working people make our country strong. Happy 250th Independence Day from America’s unions!
Workers nationwide are facing extreme heat. Heat related illness can be deadly — 530 workers died from heat illness in 2024. Every worker deserves to go home safe and healthy after their shift. Know your rights and protect yourself and your coworkers. aflcio.org/heat
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a triumph of organizing and fighting for a more just country. The civil rights and labor movements are deeply connected, and 62 years later, America’s unions are committed to continuing the fight to secure and expand civil rights for all.
President Trump signed the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” into law one year ago, throwing millions off their health care and food assistance and cutting health care jobs so the rich could cash in. Workers will hear about the damage caused by this law. https://bit.ly/4eJcmta
Our favorite part of our 30th Constitutional Convention? Bringing the labor movement together in the Twin Cities to organize, build solidarity and worker power, and fight for working people!
We join the entire labor movement in mourning the loss of Central Labor Council of Nashville President Vonda McDaniel, a trailblazer and true champion of working people. To know Vonda was to love her. America’s unions send our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. https://bit.ly/4b2LyS8
Under Trump, the price of everything has gone up — gas, groceries, electric bill, health care — you name it. You know what else keeps going up? The amount of money in Trump’s bank account, by a couple billion (so far). He really doesn’t care that we’re struggling.
The AFL-CIO calls on the Trump administration to reject any extension of the USMCA without first securing major changes to the agreement to promote dignity and fair competition for workers across North America. https://bit.ly/4avdePx
Desizyon Lakou Siprèm TPS a se yon gwo kou ki fè anpil mal pou fanmi k ap travay yo ak pou estabilite ekonomi nou an. Pwogram kont imigran administrasyon Trump lan ap chèche mete moun k ap travay yo yonn kont lòt—men mouvman sendikal la rejte politik laperèz sa a.
The Supreme Court upheld that every child born in the United States is a citizen of the United States, rejecting the Trump admin's attempt to divide working people and attack immigrant families who are part of our communities, workplaces and unions. https://bit.ly/4v9S9S2
Today's Trump v. Slaughter Supreme Court ruling will embolden big corporations that willingly break the law to trample workers' rights. But no Supreme Court decision can take away workers' will to organize or stop our fight for workers' rights on the job.
A good paycheck. Better benefits. Someone looking out for you on the job. That's the union difference. Leaders from @texasaflcio.org explain why unions make all the difference for working people.
A stronger VA means better care for veterans and stronger support for the workers who provide it. Congress must reject the omnibus VA bill.
Happy #TakeYourDogToWorkDay to every good boy and girl boosting office morale, demanding belly rubs and reminding us to take a walk once in a while. 🐶❤️
The resolutions passed at the AFL-CIO’s 30th Constitutional Convention are a roadmap for the future of our movement: organizing, fighting for workers’ rights, and building an economy that puts working people first.
La decisión de hoy representa un golpe devastador para las familias trabajadoras y la estabilidad de nuestra economía. La agenda antiinmigrante de la administración de Trump busca dividir a los trabajadores entre sí, pero el movimiento laboral rechaza esa política de miedo.
The Trump administration’s anti-immigrant agenda seeks to pit working people against each other—but the labor movement rejects that politics of fear. Congress must protect TPS holders and create a swift pathway to citizenship for the people whose work helps our country prosper.
On the 161st anniversary of #Juneteenth, America’s unions celebrate and commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. We’ll continue organizing and mobilizing across the country to fight for and protect our civil rights and bring economic justice to all workers.
More work needs to be done on the Protect College Sports Act. As written, it silences college athletes’ voices, undermines collective bargaining rights, jeopardizes fair compensation and stops states from passing laws to protect and advance their rights. https://bit.ly/4vQhkd4
President @rweingarten.bsky.social of @aft.org at our 30th Constitutional Convention: “We want a better life for workers, and the way in which you do that is through a union.”
Video game studios have made record profits while workers have faced major layoffs and brutal crunch working conditions. Workers create the video games we all love—it’s time they had the job security they need and deserve. Solidarity with @videogameworkers.bsky.social ✊
America’s unions are more united than ever, and we’re ready to take on greedy bosses, billionaires, a trillionaire, and anti-worker politicians - so working people can enjoy a future that works for ALL of us. @meidastouch.com
America's working people and the labor movement are being tested like never before. But our federation of unions has never been more united in challenging billionaires, greedy bosses and anti-worker politicians. The workers, united, will never be defeated!
