Are Americans really "workaholics" or is this just a misconception undermining worker power? Claudia Strauss's new post for Power At Work uncovers the false narrative of obsessive American work ethic and its consequences for workers. Read more at poweratwork.us/the-myth-of-th…

“Our workers are powerful because they have something that is so rare today: They have the trust of those around them. They are credible political messengers. They can connect with each other and people in their communities in a way no one else can" - Liz Shuler #BetterInAUnion

Very disappointing to see CBS News lazily, thoughtlessly & reflexively call Shawn Fain & other union leaders "bosses." Fain was democratically elected. He very much listens to the UAW's rank & file. So why do headline writers call him a boss? Why don't they call Elon Musk a boss?

What does Project 2025 mean for worker pay? More than 15 million workers would see health care benefits taxed, translating into at least $12 billion more in taxes paid. That's just part of Trump's dangerous plan to further crush the middle & working class. epiaction.org/2024/08/14/the…

NEW: Antonio Gaston died making Jeeps in Toledo, Ohio — a tragedy that never should've happened. He should've been at his old job in the Belvidere, Illinois plant that Stellantis promised to re-open, but never did. Now the UAW could strike to hold the company to their word.

Here is the union approval rating going all the way back to 1936, per Gallup. The union *disapproval* rating, now at 23%, hasn’t been this low since 1967.

What will OSHA's proposed heat standard mean for workers? WeCount!'s Claudia Navarro and AFL-CIO ✊'s Rebecca Reindel join The Burnes Center For Social Change's Seth D. Harris in a new Power At Work blogcast to discuss the current state of working in the heat. Watch more at poweratwork.us/surviving-the-…!

The Biden-Harris administration just made it official: a new OSHA proposal to protect workers from heat exposure. Labor unions fought for this, and we'll push for an even stronger rule. It’s time to protect all workers from heat on the job! federalregister.gov/documents/2024…

Labor unions are the backbone of America’s middle class – ensuring fair wages and good working conditions for our workers.   On Labor Day today, and every day, I stand with labor unions, like AFL-CIO ✊, as they fight to give their workers the rights they deserve.

Labor holds the thorns, so we can enjoy the rose. Because of unions, we enjoy workplace safety protections, family medical leave, overtime pay and so much more. Thank you to the AFL-CIO ✊ for hosting today’s event, for your endorsement, and all you contribute to our great country.
