Our union family is growing!
At 65 unions and 15 million workers strong, the AFL-CIO is ready to keep taking back power for all working people and help women’s hockey players fight for what they deserve.
Welcome to America’s unions, @pwhlpa.bsky.social ✊ https://bit.ly/3N6FHTd
The Department of Labor was created to protect all working people. Weakening labor enforcement that protect wages and safety on the job because they are union members is a blatant and outrageous attack on *all* workers’ rights.
"In every CBA negotiation, the goal of the league and teams is to divide the players. These negotiations are no different. We remain united and focused on delivering a transformational CBA for all members of this Union, and are committed to negotiating for as long as it takes. Our Union's nearly unanimous vote in December to authorize us to call a strike, if and when necessary, was not taken lightly. It was made with complete faith and trust in ourselves and our negotiating committee, led by Executive Director Terri Carmichael Jackson and President Nneka Ogwumike, to represent all players as we work to build a W that truly puts players first. Nothing has changed. That decision, and the results of our recent player survey, reaffirm that the current league proposal is not worth taking. Despite our differences and tough moments, we must make crystal clear that we are focused, we are resolute, and we are together. We want to play basketball in 2026. We want to be in front of our fans playing the game that we love. We will not stop fighting. There is no WNBA without the players."
Pay the players what you owe them, @wnba.com.
Solidarity with WNBPA players in their fight for a fair contract. America’s unions have your backs!

When it comes to protecting wages, securing benefits, and ensuring safe job sites, there’s one proven solution: a union.
The USL players deserve professional standards for their professional talent, and it’s time for the USL to deliver.
The players are ready to strike and fight for what they deserve. USL: do the right thing and bargain for a fair contract now.
Happy Women's History Month! We're proud to recognize all the trailblazing accomplishments and incredible contributions of women in NYSNA, nursing, and in the greater labor movement.
After their service and sacrifices, veterans shouldn’t have their essential health care put at risk, but that's exactly what has happened at the VA under their DOGE/Project 2025 agenda.
Eliminating thousands of medical positions is an attack on veterans.
“We can say with true pride that this is everybody’s union! I’m so proud to be a steelworker.”

Nurses at New York-Presbyterian Return to Work After 41 Days of Historic Nurse Strike
On Thursday, NYSNA nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian celebrated their return to work with a 6:30AM "walk-back" at NYP's Milstein Hospital. Over the weekend, they voted overwhelmingly to ratify new a new three-year agreement that protects patient and nurse safety.
Working people are tired of billionaires and giant corporations getting even richer while we’re fighting for scraps.
Workers are hungry to take back their power, and they’re turning to the labor movement to fight back and win. ✊
The SAVE America act would make it harder for us to vote.
Congress should make it easier for working people’s voices to be heard, not silencing them. They must reject this voter suppression bill.
Our condolences to the family, friends, and coworkers of this fallen worker. We hope for a speedy recovery for the worker injured in the collapse. patch.com/new-york/bro...
