Reports that the Trump administration is reversing its cuts to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is good news, but the dedicated safety experts at NIOSH should have never been cut in the first place. aflcio.org/press/releases/af…

Every worker deserves a safe workplace. That’s why safe staffing, workplace protections and health care are so critical for @NYNurses.
We stand in solidarity with the over 15,000 nurses on strike for fair contracts. One day longer, one day stronger!
Day 3 of #NYCNurseStrike is on! We are speaking out at Montefiore for a fair contract for our Bronx community!

The AFL-CIO stands with the Australian labor movement in condemning the horrifying antisemitic attacks at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. America’s unions reaffirm our commitment to fight bigotry, hate, and violence as we push for a fair and just world for all.

We're heartbroken for students, staff & community at Brown University, & are thinking of those who were hurt & killed tonight.
We're in touch with our locals at Brown & encourage people to listen to local law enforcement for more info.
Please stay safe. #EndGunViolence
At least two people were killed and eight are in critical but stable condition after a shooter opened fire at Brown University on Saturday afternoon near a building where exams were taking place, according to Providence Mayor Brett Smiley and university officials.

The Protect America’s Workforce Act passed the House of Representatives! This is a huge victory for workers.
As the bill heads to the Senate with bipartisan support, we call on lawmakers to vote yes and reverse the largest act of union-busting in history. aflcio.org/press/releases/la…

Hey @Starbucks – quit stalling and sign a union contract with your workers already. Or you'll just keep losing customers because of the #NoContractNoCoffee pledge. Your bull-headed union-busting is bad for your bottomline!😕🤯
HAPPENING NOW: Striking Starbucks workers have brought their picket line to the Chicago Roastery today, the largest Starbucks in the world - and the store has already shut down.
Wherever $SBUX is, we’ll continue to bring our picket lines there, too. ✊
