AFL-CIO President @LizShuler : “Every single thing we’ve ever won in this country happened because we fought for it. It happened because of days like today. This is the power. We have the power!”
The SCORE Act is a union-busting bill that would diminish the voices and job protections of college athletes.
College athletes are workers, too. They put in unmatched effort so schools can rake in millions. Congress must reject the SCORE Act and protect athletes’ NIL rights.
The Senate Banking Committee cowered to Crypto Super PACs over the interests of working people by passing the CLARITY Act and exposing our retirement savings to volatile cryptocurrency. If this bill heads to the floor, we urge senators to stand up for working people and vote NO.
AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond joined Leslie Marshall to discuss the Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court decision and its attack on the fundamental freedoms of working people. Voting rights are workers’ rights, and we’ll keep fighting to defend those rights every day.
When working people stand together and fight for each other, anything is possible. That’s why leading up to our 2026 convention, America’s unions are building solidarity not only in their communities and workplaces, but across the country and around the world.
Together, with the power of global solidarity, we can fight back against the system that has been rigged against working people, and we can WIN!
Oh we know! What is “American Federation of Labor?” Thank you to Jeopardy!, which had an entire category last night about union history. The AFL and CIO unified in 1955 to build even more worker power across the country, and we’ve never looked back since ✊
Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders have helped lead the labor movement. Throughout #AANHPIHeritageMonth, we’ll be highlighting AANHPI union members and their contributions to our unions. They’re fighting for workers’ rights and creating better workplaces for all workers.

Today is about appreciating the care, sacrifices and support mothers provide their families every day. We thank you and we’ll keep fighting for all working mothers so they have paid leave, equitable care and good union jobs. Happy Mother’s Day from America’s unions! ❤️
Now more than ever, we need a strong and united global labor movement that can challenge the power of a few billionaires over the rest of us. The labor movement is mobilizing to build worldwide solidarity and fight for economic justice for workers everywhere.
The Atlanta Washerwomen strike is a story about solidarity.
After 2 months on strike and relentless organizing efforts, they grew their movement and fought for better, and won better wages, more autonomy, respect on the job and more.
When we stand together and fight, we win!
