America’s unions are hitting the road! While politicians in Washington make chaos for working people, we’re fighting for workers. The It’s Better In a Union—Freedom, Fairness and Security bus tour will build worker power nationwide and listen to the real needs of working people.

Join NPEU's Political Engagement Team on Tuesday, July 29th at 7PM ET for a virtual lecture and discussion on how nonprofit coalitions defend democracy and counter government repression. Register here to receive the zoom link: actionnetwork.org/events/confron…

Today, we protected I-82 & the fair wages of tipped workers, upholding the will of 74% of DC voters.   I'm grateful to my colleagues for rejecting a repeal that would ignore the realities workers face while trying to live & work in one of the most expensive cities in the country.

Today, a majority of the D.C. Council voted against repealing Initiative 82! Thank you CM Janeese Lewis George for your leadership, and Charles Allen, Zachary Parker, Brianne K. Nadeau, Councilmember Matt Frumin, Christina Henderson, and Robert White for preventing a wage cut for tipped workers.

It’s Election Day, Ward 8! We’re proud to endorse Salim Adofo. Salim has shown his clear solidarity with Ward 8 workers and families, and we know he’s the right choice in this election. Get out today and vote!

All together now! Packed house at last night's Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO Delegates Meeting! AFL-CIO ✊ #1u #itsbetterinaunion #unionstrong #unions #unionsforall #unionyes #unionsolidarity #joinaunion

Yesterday, WeDriveU MetroAccess workers at Central Ave and Hubbard Rd voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if necessary in order to win a better contract. These workers deserve a fair contract! #ATU689FairContracts

We’ve been talking and listening, and these are just a few of the priorities we share as CEWA members:

The DC Council is considering a deal that would permanently freeze tipped workers’ wages, gut Initiative 82, and breaking the promise voters made to thousands of workers. Email the Council today: no cuts, no freezes! actionnetwork.org/letters/no-cut…

I appreciate the work my colleagues have done to draft an I-82 compromise, but there is still a fundamental problem. The voters told us what they wanted when they voted overwhelmingly for I-82. Twice. And this is not it.

DC voters overwhelmingly approved tipped workers' right to earn a living wage. Despite our own budget office showing robust restaurant growth since I-82, my colleagues today are proposing we keep these workers at a subminimum wage based on biased data from the restaurant lobby.
