Talked with a FedEx Ground driver today. He works 65 hours a week, 6 days a week, for a flat $200 per day. At UPS, that same time would take home close to $3600, not including pension and health coverage. That is the union difference.

“Right to work” laws are a total scam. They silence American workers and keep them underpaid. The Nationwide Right to Unionize Act would solve this problem, and Congressman Brad Sherman and I want to get it done.

We're in a health care emergency. Republicans in Congress gutted Medicaid, and now, nursing homes, community clinics, and hospitals are closing. Health insurance premiums are skyrocketing and people risk going bankrupt without coverage. Congress must fix this crisis RIGHT NOW.

All of what we’re seeing from the Trump administration is a choice to put corporations ahead of caretakers, the wealthy ahead of workers, and the bosses ahead of the busboys.

WGA, SAG-AFTRA and Musicians Union Condemn Jimmy Kimmel Suspension: 'Direct Attack on Free Speech' thewrap.com/wga-and-afm-co…

ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! is an alarming case of powerful corporations helping the Trump admin suppress the freedom of speech among America's working people. America’s unions stand with the workers whose jobs are on the line from this chilling censorship.

When big corporations enable the government to silence their employees, our entire democracy is at risk. The labor movement stands with @SAGAFTRA, Writers Guild of America East, and AFM in condemning the attacks of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and defending workers’ fundamental freedoms.

We’re glad that all of our union members at Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be back to work tomorrow. Their jobs never should have been on the line in the first place.

Johnson voted for massive tax breaks for billionaires and now he's openly advocating for Wisconsin workers to lose their jobs. You can't make this stuff up

“Tilly Norwood” was trained on @SAGAFTRA performers' work without permission or compensation—putting actors’ jobs on the line. Corporations must respect the work of screenwriters, songwriters, designers and actors. You can’t replace artists with AI. variety.com/2025/film/news…

Trump's $8B in clean energy cuts will impact 200+ projects that could bring down energy prices and create thousands of jobs, per a list we obtained. And it's not just blue states — GOP districts will feel the hit too. w/ Kelsey Tamborrino Joshua Siegel politico.com/news/2025/10/0…
