Shit's too expensive, paychecks are flat, and this administration threw themselves a party and pat themselves on the back. This November, we're going to send them a message loud and clear: Your time is up. Working people built this country. It's time to take it back.

Out-of-pocket costs for health care jumped 10% this year – up to an avg of $2,167.  They’re going to jump even more next year.  This administration caused this crisis – and they have no real plan to fix it.  www.nytimes.com/2026/09/02/business/health...Mostrar mais

The labor movement knows that 1 in 5 workers in America is an immigrant. Our diversity makes our jobs, our unions, and our country strong. Trying to divide us based on where we are born is a dirty trick that only helps the billionaire bosses.

94% of Americans say shit is too expensive. 4 in 5 worry about not being able to make ends meet, and even more are worried about their retirement. That’s the reality that Americans are facing. Working people built this country. It shouldn’t be this hard for us to make ends meet.

How do we make our government stand up for working families? By showing up on Election Day. But showing up starts with registering. It takes a minute to make sure you’re registered to vote. Make your voice heard this election season: betterinaunion.org/check

Working people are worried about their futures. We shouldn’t have to live in fear of AI. That’s why America’s unions are fighting for AI guardrails to protect those jobs and our rights. AI should work for us, not just Big Tech CEOs.

Grocery prices are skyrocketing, and electronic shelf labels could make our groceries even MORE expensive and cost tens of thousands of jobs. Lawmakers must stand with working people and ban electronic shelf labels to protect our jobs and our paychecks. aflciotechinstitute.org/policy/pricedoutpu...Mostrar mais

The Protect College Sports Act would undermine college athletes’ bargaining power. The AFL-CIO and its Sports Council urge the Senate to reject this bill and work with athletes to draft legislation that actually empowers them to fight for better terms and conditions at work.

Americans are struggling over every bill, every purchase, every paycheck. 94% say shit is too expensive. We can't go out to dinner or take a vacation.   That’s the maddening reality we face every day. Nothing common sense about that.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

Taking away health care is anti-worker. Gutting essential services is anti-worker. Busting unions is anti-worker. Giving billionaires another tax cut while families struggle is anti-worker. This administration's agenda is wildly out of step with working people.

President Trump gives himself an A++... in this economy? Workers are struggling. Prices on groceries, rent, gas and utilities are crushing us while this admin gives tax breaks to billionaires. Workers make this country run. We need leaders who will make this economy work for us.

The President’s Big Ugly Bill is so unpopular that they gave it a new name: the “Working Families Tax Cut.” It’s still the same bad law: Ripping health care from millions of people and jacking up prices for everyone else to give tax breaks to their billionaire friends.

It’s officially football season! Good luck to our @NFLPA union family tonight as they kick off their season in Seattle. 🏈

Working people want affordable health care, good jobs and the chance to retire someday. This administration’s anti-worker policies have given us ridiculous costs and flat wages. abcnews.com/Politics/trump-gop-hosting-mid...Mostrar mais

There are true national emergencies that Congress should be dealing with. College athletes’ newfound bargaining power and compensation is not one of them. The AFL-CIO and its Sports Council urge the Senate to reject the Protect College Sports Act.

Working people should not have to live in fear of their jobs being ripped away because of AI. That’s why America’s unions are fighting for fair, safe and equitable jobs with guardrails to protect those jobs and our rights. AI should work for us, not just Big Tech CEOs.

President Trump and his allies have had complete control of the White House and Congress, and they’ve given tax breaks to the rich while squeezing working people even harder. This fall, we’re taking back our power and electing leaders who will stand with us. betterinaunion.orgMostrar mais

Happy Star Trek Day! LLAP and solidarity forever with the Bar Association. 🖖

When working people come together, we can stand up to the wealthiest CEOs and the most powerful politicians. We can topple corporate greed and rewrite the rules. 56 days until Election Day. Let’s take back our power and WIN! ✊

Working people are struggling to make ends meet. Workers aren’t asking for luxury. We want some breathing room so we can afford to go to dinner with our family or go on vacation once in a while. We want to actually LIVE, and unions are fighting to make that dream a reality.

The work of working people makes this country run every day. It shouldn’t be this hard to make ends meet in this economy. How do workers take back their power and fight for better? A union contract. www.epi.org/blog/the-answer-to-a-stronger-...

Working people support the labor movement and they trust unions to deliver and WIN. That’s why we’re knocking on doors and talking to our neighbors about this election. Let’s vote for candidates who will stand with workers! Join us: betterinaunion.org

It was a Labor Day full of solidarity and worker power. Now, let’s keep up the fight, make our voices heard and elect candidates this November who will stand with us, not billionaires. 57 days until Election Day. Let’s get it done for working people and take our country back!

The workers, united, will NEVER be defeated ✊

Working people built this country, yet every day billionaires and wealthy elites get richer and richer while we fight for scraps. It doesn’t have to be this way. Join us this Labor Day as we get ready to fight and elect pro-worker candidates this November: betterinaunion.orgMostrar mais

The best way to show your solidarity this Labor Day is to make a plan to vote for pro-worker candidates this fall. It takes one minute to make sure you’re registered to vote! betterinaunion.org/vote

This Labor Day, shit’s too expensive. Wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of living. Working people are living on the edge while billionaires and bosses get even richer. But with record-high support, working people trust the labor movement to fight back and deliver.

Working people make our economy and country run every day. It shouldn’t be this hard to make ends meet while CEOs take home 312x what we do. This Labor Day, workers are fed up.

The 8 hour work day. Workplace safety laws. Child labor laws. Minimum wage. These are workplace rights we have today because working people fought for them and won, and we’ll continue to fight for better for all working people.

No better time than Labor Day to start organizing a union! Want better pay? Better benefits? Retirement security, dignity and respect, and a stronger voice on the job? Take back your power and form a union with your coworkers. aflcio.org/formaunion

Labor Day solidarity 💪

On repeat today. Happy Labor Day.

The Trump admin has betrayed workers. They’ve done nothing but union-bust, wreck our services, help their billionaire friends, and shrink our paychecks. Workers built this country. It shouldn’t be this hard to survive in this economy. @greenhousenyt www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/07/tr...Mostrar mais

We are the labor movement, fighting for economic justice, and this Labor Day, we’re going to show the billionaires and anti-worker politicians who we are and how we fight!

The American Dream is feeling out of reach for working families across the country this Labor Day. Unions have record-high support, and right now, working people trust the labor movement to bring the American Dream closer to reality again. @STRedmond www.newsweek.com/its-time-for-americas-wor...Mostrar mais

America’s unions 🤝 @TroyJackson207 Fighting for working people

Behind every community are union workers making it happen. This Labor Day weekend, we celebrate them, and all working people, who make our country and economy run every day.

Working people are tired of lip service from both parties. We need leadership that will put working people first, not billionaires. That’s why we’re mobilizing 16 million union members this election season. We’re making sure workers’ voices are heard. rollcall.com/2026/09/03/at-the-races-labor...Mostrar mais

Workers in Maine and across the country are sitting at their kitchen tables wondering how it got so damn hard to make ends meet. This Labor Day, we’re standing together to speak up, speak out and demand better! @IAMBrianBryant www.pressherald.com/2026/09/06/what-maines...Mostrar mais

Weekends. Workplace safety protections. Child labor laws. Retirement security. Paid time off. These are things we enjoy today because workers fought for them and won. This Labor Day, let's get inspired and keep fighting for better for working people ✊

Join America’s unions at one of our events across the country this weekend where we’ll be fighting to build worker power and to protect the rights and freedoms of all workers! www.mobilize.us/aflcio/

While workers struggle to make ends meet in this economy, they’re watching their CEO take home 312x what they do. Working people built this country — it’s time we had an economy that works for us. A union contract is how we start to balance the scales.

Workers don’t trust political parties to get us out of this economic mess, they trust unions to fight for them and deliver. And this Labor Day, we’re hitting the streets to fight for candidates, an economy and country that works for all of us.
