Josue Pire Hidalgo opens our schools every morning. He's Local 73. He's Chicago. He went to a scheduled ICE appointment — and they took him and his family.
Today, we were at Lincoln Park Zoo to deliver a message to CEO Megan Ross at the Zoo Ball: do not privatize the Grounds and Maintenance team! Before G&M was brought in-house, conditions at the Zoo were much worse. Why would we go back? #chicago #unionstrong
I'm in the room for some of the most important moments in my patients' lives. UIC's Board of Trustees doesn't think I deserve a voice in the room when it comes to my own job.
Disability Pride Month starts today. Disabled workers face higher unemployment, harder benefit processes, and workplaces that still treat accommodation like a favor. We know better. Because an injury to one is an injury to all.
Skokie Public Library workers with Local 73 just won their second contract, and it includes some big wins! The library workers are essential to our community, and they must be treated as such.
Elmhurst 205 custodial workers 🧹cleaned up 🧹 in their new contract, winning wage increases, better healthcare benefits and more!
Juneteenth reminds us that Black liberation, civil rights, and workers' rights are connected. The freedoms won by those who came before us weren't guaranteed then and aren't guaranteed now. Each generation has a responsibility to defend and expand them. #UnionStrong #Juneteenth
At your workplace, there are two teams: the bosses and the workers. Be like Vozinha and save your workplace from the bosses by unionizing! #Vozinha #CaboVerde #WorldCup
There is nothing more powerful than workers who refuse to be divided. LGBTQIA+ rights are workers’ rights. And this #PrideMonth, we’re making that crystal clear — in our locals, in our communities, and in the streets. United, we fight. United, we win. #pridemonth #unionstrong
Safe Passage workers are organizing! ¡Los trabajadores de Safe Passage se están organizando!
Today, we were at the Blue Island school board meeting to demand that custodial staff are treated with the respect they deserve. The district’s history of anti-union activity and racism must end! #blueisland #blueislandillinois #chicago #unionstrong
UIC Advanced Practice Providers are fighting for a fair first contract. They are on the frontlines of taking care of our community’s health; they know that their working conditions are patient health care conditions. With a fair first contract for APPs, everyone wins.

A justice-centered labor movement doesn’t look away; it shows up. For survivors of sexual assault. For a better future. We honor them. We stand with them.
No king has ever fallen because one person got angry. They fall when all of us say together: No kings. Not here. Not today. Not ever. Because when we fight, we win! #NoKingsDay
