Chicago's working class is standing united against Trump's attacks on our communities from ICE raids to healthcare and transit cuts. Ironworkers in Chicago won't stand for this, and join with working people across the city to flex our power and stop the attacks.

As Trump plays political games with SNAP benefits, millions of working families will suffer. Tinika Dottin, a member with @SEIU509 @SEIU who supports access to SNAP on the frontlines, calls out these attacks and for all working people to stand together against them.

Early Hollywood glitz and glamor masked brutal working conditions on set, but some of your favorite movie monsters changed that by forming unions.

When the bosses and politicians attempted to divide and conquer workers in New Orleans, they stood together and rose up in a general strike. What lessons and inspiration can we take today from this historic strike?

In 1934, workers across San Francisco rose up in one of the greatest general strikes in U.S. history. As the billionaire war on the working class continues and our current crises deepen, we must learn from our history to fight back today.

After the largest single day of protest in U.S. history, many are asking if it's time to start organizing towards a general strike? It's happened here before, and it can happen again if everyday people make it a reality. @50501movement @CTULocal1 @ueunion

As millions flood the streets with protest against Trump and his billionaire agenda for "No Kings" day, workers are feeling their power. Attacks on our democratic rights, healthcare, and immigrant communities are escalating. It's time to fight! @FlyingWithSara @SEIU @UTLAnow

In one of the largest healthcare strikes in US history, over 30,000 Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers with UNAC/UHCP are striking. The healthcare giant has been squeezing workers through short staffing and burnout for too long, and the workers are saying enough is enough.

While Southern politicians and businesses say they are bringing prosperity to the South, the reality is more of the same for Southern workers. Facing low-wage anti-union racist exploitation, Southern workers are being sold out by their leaders. But workers are fighting back

MIT workers and students have made it clear they won’t accept Trump’s coercive compact, attempting to force academic institutions to conform to the right-wing’s agenda. And this fight is just beginning as MIT becomes the first institution to reject Trump’s compact.

As the shutdown continues, TSA officers are under growing stress of working without pay. Unless Trump backs down on massive cuts to healthcare access, federal workers will be forced into impossible decisions and air travel will become increasingly delayed and unsafe.

With growing hype around AI, tech workers who build these tools themselves are starting to face growing anxiety around the societal implications of this new technology. In the hands of Tech billionaires, working people will face a bleak future.

Without a union, Nurses at UnityPoint hospitals work without regular breaks for hours, leaving workers hungry and exhausted. That's why nurses are organizing with @Teamsters to form a union and change that, demanding better working conditions and better care for their patients.

When Trump shutdown the government in 2019 over his border wall funding, politicians haplessly scrambled for solutions. It was the threat of a major strike by flight attendants that ultimately ended the shutdown. Check out the full interview with @FlyingWithSara :
