Shame on The Boeing Company

Last night, Boeing locked out their fire fighters — on International Fire Fighters Day, no less. Working people united will always triumph over corporate greed. We stand shoulder to shoulder with our International Association of Fire Fighters family until a fair contract is reached.

WSLC President April Sims: “Corporations outspend unions in every election. But our power doesn’t come from our pocketbooks. Our power is people power.  And today, we are gathered here to make sure the power of people is heard in our political process.”  #LaborVotes #WAelex

Congratulations to SEIU President April Verrett on her historic election. WSLC Pres. April Sims she/her: “Verrett’s clear-eyed vision for an anti-racist, fighting labor movement is an inspiration. We are excited to welcome her to our Convention in July." thestand.org/2024/05/april-…

We like our basketball like we like our state — UNION 🏀 The WSLC Women’s Committee gathered last night to watch the Seattle Storm and welcome WNPBA President Nneka Ogwumike to Seattle. Proud to support our hometown, union team!

Honored to join MLK Labor for the signing of a Labor Harmony Agreement at Lumen Field. This agreement was made possible by good faith engagement between the employer and labor, and is a commitment to ensuring quality, union jobs in our communities.

As a September 12 strike date looms, 33,000 Machinists are fighting to save Boeing from itself. Will Boeing listen to the workers who built its reputation? Or will the company continue the profit-over-people practices it’s embraced? thestand.org/2024/08/machin… IAM Union District 751

In a downtown Seattle hotel, the future of the aerospace industry is being decided. Machinists are fighting for a contract that retains skilled workers, saves jobs & commits to safety at Boeing. As a Sept. 12 strike date looms, they're not backing down: thestand.org/2024/08/machin…

Kamala Harris knows that reproductive freedom is a workers' rights issue - it’s about economic freedom for women, and the ability to access good jobs. It’s about the dignity of all working people.

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

Trump is a lunatic- I don’t know what’s worse- the incoherence, the narcissism or the lies…. #Debate2024

Solidarity with the 33,000 Machinists who are voting today whether to accept a contract offer from Boeing or to strike. Whatever the outcome of the vote, Washington's labor movement stands with our IAM Union District 751 siblings.

The 850k union workers of the WSLC, AFLCIO and Oregon AFL-CIO stand united with our Machinists siblings on strike at Boeing in Washington and the Portland area. Their fight is our fight.

I just took action with Action Network: Your Support is Needed: Stand with Boeing Workers!. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/your-sup…

Hope is a radical act of resistance. Statement from WSLC, AFL-CIO President April Sims and Secretary Treasurer Cherika Carter on the 2024 Election:

Employers have a war chest that can outlast negotiations with low-wage workers. End the vicious cycle that keeps wages low by passing SB-5041 and passing UI for Striking Workers. #EmpowerWorkers #WaLeg #UI4Strikers

President Elon Musk and VP Trump can take it off the calendar, but we’re here to stay. Black History is American History.
