Cutting newsroom workers undermines accountability for those pulling the levers of power. Jeff Bezos’ mass layoffs are not only a threat to workers – they are a threat to accountability journalism! Standing with the @PostGuild workers at @WashingtonPost.

We love seeing our elected officials on the ground and meeting with union members. Congresswoman Budzinski visited Springfield to meet with local labor leaders and union members, including Nick Yelverton, President of the Springfield and Central IL Trades and Labor Council. #1u

The renowned labor leader Bayard Rustin once said, “To be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true.” And we know our truth. We stand firm in our commitment to fighting for all workers and know that labor rights are civil rights. #BlackHistoryMonth #1u
