We just experienced the longest government shutdown in history. $14 BILLION in missing wages were held from federal employees — many who still had to work without pay. That can’t happen again. Tell the Senate to vote YES on the Shutdown Fairness Act.

This AM, as you were waking up, your DC Firefighters were already jumping into action. Crews arrived to find fire showing and within minutes they had it under control. These fires are dangerous and unpredictable, but our members never hesitate to keep you safe. @MayorBowser

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @SBWorkersUnited barista makes. Starbucks baristas at corporate stores across the country are on strike, as they fight to stop union busting and for a fair contract. Solidarity ✊

Four years after workers at a Starbucks store in upstate New York became the first to unionize, hundreds of outlets followed – defying intense resistance from the coffee chain. What happened next?

AFGE is fighting against the biggest act of union-busting in American history. Thank you to the lawmakers who have stood up for workers’ rights. AFGE won’t stop fighting until the Protect America’s Workforce Act is passed.

We need everyone who cares about the fundamental freedom to join a union to make their voice heard and help restore the union rights of 1 million federal workers. Call your representatives and tell them: pass H.R. 2550, the Protect America’s Workforce Act! https://t.co/VdWtebNkRz

The decision from the Trump administration to exclude nurses from graduate degrees is an attack on the nursing profession. It is an insult to the profession. (1/5)

Apple is anti-union. Tesla is anti-union. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

The shutdown may be over, but many federal workers' paychecks are still weeks away — and bills are still piling up. Tomorrow join FUN, Free DC, 50501 DC, and Generation Union for a happy hour benefitting CSA's Federal Worker Solidarity Fund: https://t.co/ojXBkDbNm1
