Closing Case in Burlington wouldn't just hurt the @UAW workers and their families, it would cause a ripple effect that would destroy small businesses, local economies and any potential growth in the area for years! #KeepCaseInBurlington

.@IowaAFLCIO President Charlie Wishman is right: the big ugly bill’s cuts to health care and food assistance will be devastating for working families. On the #BetterInAUnion bus tour, workers nationwide are standing up and fighting back ✊

For @MarkJackson13 there is no debate, Patrick Ewing stands alone. As the franchise’s all-time leader in points, rebounds, and blocks, Ewing anchored an era and defined Knicks basketball for a generation.

While billionaires and corporations profit off the backs of working people - and politicians in Washington cut our essential services - America’s unions are hitting the road this summer to build worker power nationwide and fight for freedom, fairness and security for ALL workers.

The labor movement strongly opposes the Senate’s current budget reconciliation bill. It demands millions of working Americans give up health care, food, income, and jobs - all so the rich and large corporations can reap the greatest tax benefits.

Senator Joni Ernst wants to cut health insurance for millions of Americans so billionaires can get more. Let Sen Ernst know this is unacceptable! Call today and tell her: No cuts to Medicaid! ☎️ 202-400-0602 Iowa families deserve better!
16 MILLION people would lose their health insurance thanks to cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act in the Senate’s budget bill. Working people see right through this budget’s BS. America’s unions won’t accept health care cuts so billionaires can get another tax break.

Heat Safety information and cold water were passed out to drivers at the Des Moines hub today. @UPS needs to keep its promise and deliver AC as required in the contract. Ups drivers show up everyday and hold up their end of the bargain, it’s time the company does the same.

Today we remember the historic struggles of Black Americans and their fight for freedom. Now, more than ever, we must fight to end systemic racism and inequality in the workplace! #Juneteenth

Trump’s order to strip federal workers of their bargaining rights was the biggest act of union-busting in history. Senate Republicans want to sneak a provision into the budget bill to finish the job. We urge senators to oppose this union-busting proposal.

AFL-CIO opposes the budget reconciliation proposal from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which is straight-up union-busting.

@IowaAFLCIO @STRedmond Elissa McBride reminded everyone in Davenport that 40% of Iowa births depend on Medicaid. Cutting federal funding means cutting care when families need it most.

Senator @ChuckGrassley and his staff tried to keep his “town hall” in Hampton today quiet by not publishing it, but word got out. This is the overflow of people who couldn’t get into the event. People are sick and tired of the Trump/Musk agenda! @AFLCIO
