How much did you get for a raise this year? 1%? 3%? How about 25%? FACT: California billionaires increased their net worth by 25% over the last two years. That's about $432 billion dollars. Tax the billionaires ➡️ Save California's health care system. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40

Trump gave billionaires tax breaks, and funded it by cutting hundreds of billions, including $100 billion in California. Billionaires don't need more money. It's time they paid their fair share to keep California's hospitals open and health care workers on the job. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40

🚨🚨🚨THIS JUST IN🚨🚨🚨 @aflcio.org President @lizshuler.bsky.social is calling on @governor.ca.gov Newsom to sign CaliforniaLabor's first-in-the-nation package of bills to regulate AI in the workplace!

Join California Labor this Wednesday at 5 pm and take the fight to the billionaires by texting voters in support of Prop 40! We'll be joined by special guest Congressman @rokhanna.bsky.social! #YesOn40 @workingfamilies.org @billionairetaxnow.bsky.social

Cal Labor Federation (@californialabor.bsky.social) president Lorena Gonzalez (@lorenagonzalez.bsky.social) says Proposition 40 — opposed by the ultra-rich — is needed to maintain basic health care services after cuts by President Trump and Republicans.

We have seen polling after polling of young people, union members under the age of 45, and they overwhelmingly support taxing billionaires. This is what the Labor Movement should be fighting for, and we're proud to be doing so. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40

We thank @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom for recognizing the existential threat that AI poses, and we call on him to take further action. See our full statement.

The Big Ugly Bill, passed by Trump admin allies like Rep. David Valadao, will throw millions off health care and threaten hospitals—all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. @californialabor.bsky.social and @seiu521.bsky.social are in Bakersfield to show the impact of Rep. Valadao’s broken promises.

Billionaires shouldn't exist. Period. Let's make them pay their fair share to keep California's hospitals open and health care workers on the job saving lives. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40

‼️STRIKE ALERT‼️ The Superior Plus Propane drivers with Teamsters Local 70 are going ON STRIKE this Friday! Put on your union drip and stand in solidarity with workers on the picket line!

September 15 is National Voter Registration Day! With California election ballots going out soon, it's the perfect occasion to make sure that you are registered to vote and that your registration is up-to-date and with a current address.

Whether you're Alliance or Horde, there's plenty to be excited about with news that nearly 1,900 @cwaunion.bsky.social video game workers at Microsoft's Blizzard Entertainment have won a union contract! In fact, at BlizzCon here in SoCal, convention-goers even asked how they can get a union as well.

After winning a historic union contract, Blizzard employees still face layoffs

Employees at Blizzard Entertainment, a storied game studio now owned by Microsoft, have secured their first company-wide union contract.

Calling all Bay Area union members! Let’s show up in solidarity on Tuesday, 9/15 with SEIU-USWW security workers as they join interfaith leaders, immigrant rights advocates, and tech workers in the community for a peaceful rally for good jobs, living wages, and keeping our families together!

The @californialabor.bsky.social movement will continue fighting for strong legislative solutions because Silicon Valley’s mantra “move fast and break things” is a disaster for working people.

Great news! The CA Legislature today approved my SB 947, the No Robo Bosses Act of 2026 — groundbreaking legislation that would require human oversight of AI systems in the workplace to prevent abuses. If enacted, SB 947 would be the 1st such law in the nation. @californialabor.bsky.social

California’s legislative session is over and the @californialabor.bsky.social Movement battled Big Tech money and corporate lobbyists and WON! Lawmakers chose to stand with working people over AI billionaires.

The @CaliforniaLabor Movement couldn't do what it does without its phenomenal leaders, including Kathy Finn of UFCW Local 770, Jeff Freitas of @cftunion.bsky.social, Sandy Reding of @calnurses.bsky.social, Teresa Romero of @ufw.bsky.social and Anica Walls of @seiu1000.bsky.social.

Members of @icglocal600.bsky.social are fighting for a fair contract with KEYT in Santa Barbara! Too many members including reporters, directors, editors, videographers and local news gatherers, are making minimum wage and are forced to rely on Medi-Cal for health insurance!

Students learn best from HUMAN educators. AI is not a replacement. That's why we sponsored #SB928 with @cfaunited.bsky.social to ensure that AI NEVER replaces a human educator in our university and college classrooms.

Big Tech is exploiting our personal data -- like our internet search history, location, and income -- to charge us all different prices for the same product.

Opinion | Surveillance Prices. Hidden Fees. Shifting Costs. This Madness Must Stop.

Policymakers should combat commercial surveillance with stronger laws on fair pricing.

Help send a message to Starbucks: No Contract = No Coffee! Stand in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org and BOYCOTT standalone Starbucks locations until they win a fair contract! ✊

Big Ag lobbyists are working behind closed doors on a last-minute bill to promote driverless tractors and other earth-moving farm equipment, jeopardizing both the safety and the jobs of California farmworkers. Farmworkers aren't guinea pigs. Period.

The California labor movement is committed to ensuring that EVERY registered voter in the state has their voice heard at the ballot box, and we will fight any effort to suppress those votes by the Trump Administration.

Attempts to restrict mail-in voting is yet another voter suppression attempt by President Trump. The president, who himself votes by mail, is trying to restrict our ability to do so because he knows voters are rejecting his agenda.

Look who sent us an email today. Too bad we only respond to human journalists. AI agents are not journalists. Nor are they nurses, teachers, or coworkers.

Special interests spent $7 million trying to buy ONE congressional seat in CD-14. Working people saw through the lies and attacks. Congratulations to our endorsed Labor Champion @AishaWahab!! 👏🔥🔥

We've proposed bills to protect people from AI in our workplace, bathrooms, schools, and hospitals. The country is watching to see if @governor.ca.gov leads on these issues and sides with workers over AI billionaires. x.com/lorenasgonza...

Thank you to my union brothers and sisters of the Iowa AFL-CIO for inviting me to come out to speak about AI, Jobs and our efforts to pass common sense AI pro-worker guardrails. We are all watching to...
