Our voices matter. Our stories matter. And when we stand together, our power transforms workplaces and communities. This #LatinoHeritageMonth, we celebrate Latino workers using their voices to demand better, open doors for others, and create lasting change.

People are seeing Trump’s war on DEI for what it is: the weaponization of deep seeded anti-Blackness. Dismantling diversity programs means dismantling opportunities for ALL working people! The real issue has never been DEI initiatives, just more propaganda to divide us so they keep the power.

Trump slashed DEI. Now it's making a surprising bipartisan comeback

Political backlash put DEI on ice. Now unexpected support, even from Republicans, is driving an unexpected thaw, according to an exclusive new poll.

A major reason #GreedyCEOs have so much influence in our system isn’t because they’re just that much smarter than everyday working people. These anti-worker execs exploit their workforce and utilize Citizens United to bankroll politicians who will rig the rules even more in their favor.

Energized from the “Solidarity in Action: Bridging Black and Brown Unity,” panel exploring the intersecting challenges facing Black and Latino communities ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. We’re standing with elected leaders who prioritize working people, affordability, and immigration justice!

That look an anti-union consultant gives when the captive audience meeting doesn’t work 🤣

JOIN US tomorrow for a conversation with members of @cbc.house.gov & @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social. We'll explore challenges facing Black & Latino communities, including affordability, healthcare, service work, labor rights, mass incarceration, & immigration justice. @fwd.us https://seiu.co/46uPhp6

MAGA Republicans are going on vacation early and it’s time to call out the hypocrisy! Working people are skipping their holiday with loved ones due to high gas, grocery, and housing costs. So it’s only fair that Congress cancels theirs, too, & passes legislation that actually helps working people.

Rideshare drivers in CA are uniting against Waymo robotaxis & pushing back against AI tools being used to maximize company profits causing workers and consumers to pay the price as riders can be charged different prices for the same trip, while drivers may be offered different pay for the same ride.

As Waymos come to SoCal city, leaders ask Newsom for more authority

“Thousands of San Diegans pay their bills by driving, and no one gave them a say in robots threatening their livelihoods,” an official said.

Remember when Chipotle blamed menu price increases on wage increases while making tens of millions a year?? …that same Chipotle that shamelessly tries to silence folks who are uniting for a voice at work. Surprise surprise, looks like they’re now teaming up with Palantir to track employee illnesses…

We Regret to Inform You Chipotle Is Now Working With Palantir

Guacamole is extra, but a side of Palantir is free.

Last night was a movie! With our partners, we continue to celebrate leadership, community, and the people building bridges toward a more just future at Bridge Builders 2026 for the Congressional Black Caucus #ALC55 Congrats again to all the award winners! 🥂

Prices are high, paychecks aren’t keeping up, & everyday costs keep piling on, no matter how politicians spin it. Working people feel the squeeze in their wallets. It’s time to fight for real affordability: higher wages, cheaper essentials, & an economy that works for workers, not just Wall Street!

Federal Reserve raises interest rates for the first time since 2023

The Fed increased its benchmark rate by 0.25 percentage points to battle resurgent inflation driven by soaring energy prices.

Most working people want the same things: a voice at work, a living wage, & job security. Those are basic things that happen when working people unionize. But greedy corporations like Amazon prioritize union-busting. Amazon alone dished out over $14 million to anti-union consultants in a year!

How Amazon Busts Unions, in Its Own Words

Internal documents disclosed in a British Columbia labor case give us an incredibly detailed look into how exactly Amazon carries out its union-busting operations.

When everything is on the line for working people, we’re seeing baristas, nurses & more in the midwest unite to challenge the status quo at work, in the streets, at the ballot box & in our communities. THIS is how workers win more pay, expanded benefits & new rules that empower more unionization!

From coffee shops to hospitals, workers look to unionize Northeast Ohio workplaces

There have been efforts to organize or improve unions in a variety of sectors recently. We’ll talk to some of the workers about the actions and some of the challenges they face.

This is the same administration that cut $1 TRILLION from the Medicaid budget to give tax cuts to #GreedyCEOs, by the way. Anyone else see the problem with this?! 🤬

Extremist Republicans have tried time and time again to take our votes away. From making mail-in voting harder to purposefully racist redrawing of districts, their tactics won’t deter us. With this Supreme Court ruling, working people won’t be silenced in the upcoming midterm elections!

The strongest way to honor a legacy is to keep building on it. Generations before us fought for opportunity, dignity, & a better life. Today, Latino workers are carrying that fight forward by coming together for better jobs, stronger communities, & a future that works for all. #LatinoHeritageMonth

“Families of service members targeted by ICE include relatives with no violent criminal record who have been detained or deported. This comes as the Pentagon is recruiting from the immigrant community, including legal permanent residents, or green-card holders, at a rapidly growing pace.”

Latino workers help keep this country moving. We care for our loved ones, educate our children, keep our communities running, and do the work that makes everything else possible. Latino workers deserve money, power, and respect. Full STOP. #LatinoHeritageMonth

Turns out working people don’t want endless conflict, especially when working people are the ones paying for it at the pump. War hurts working people, poor people, women, and children! https://seiu.co/4h6VCfk

Latest Updates: Iran war costs well over $33.4 billion, Pentagon says, as Trump signals renewed openness to talks

#NVRM is about making sure *every* eligible voter is registered in time to vote. It’s time for all of us to do our part in strengthening our communities and our democracy by doing our civic duty! https://seiu.turbovote.org/

#LatinoHeritageMonth is about celebrating the vibrant Latino communities that make up our union family. We honor the activism, teachings and determination that have pushed us forward while standing against the rhetoric meant to tear our families apart.

When Pres. Trump thinks the economy is a success, he’s ignoring millions of working people earning poverty wages, barely able to pay the bills, and demanding a voice at work. It's unfair and false to say the economy is strong when so many are struggling to survive without #MoneyPowerRespect.

The President, who said himself that he doesn’t care about workers’ financial situations, gave himself an A+++ on the economy. Working people feel… a little differently.

This fall, America’s union members are mobilizing to elect pro-worker candidates who will stand up for working people, not the billionaires and CEOs. Workers built this country, and together, we’re going to take it back. Join us: mobilize.us/aflcio

The EPA’s legal duty is to protect people from dangerous pollution. By not limiting pollution from power plants, they’re abandoning that responsibility. And you know who pays the price? You guessed it… working people will pay with our health, our paychecks, and our lives.

E.P.A. Will Erase Limits on Climate Pollution From Power Plants

Generation of electricity is the second largest source of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases in the United States.
