This admin’s Big Ugly Bill continues to hurt working people like Fawn! We’ve seen one of the worst years for the job market in DECADES: food assistance stripped from over FOUR MILLION through SNAP cuts, THREE MILLION folks forced off their health insurance & cuts to Medicaid budgets by $679 BILLION
How the “Big Beautiful” is Hurting Us
We must hold corporations and their bought-politicians accountable.

Hundreds of thousands have lost their lawful immigration status, may lose their jobs, and are at risk of family separation after the lower court's decision officially ending TPS for Haiti. Congress must create a path to citizenship now. Statement @seiusaenz.bsky.social: www.seiu.org/2026/08/peop...
Hats off to meatpackers in CO who are holding the line for pay increases & better benefits. These workers have been locked out for over 70 days. Their employer, Cargill, had $154 BILLION in revenues last year & was named the nation’s largest private company for the 5th consecutive year last year.
Cargill workers in Fort Morgan reject tentative contract to end lockout
More than 1,700 meatpackers haven’t been to work since May 20 after negotiations for higher wages and benefits broke down.

Big up to All Ways Caring caregivers in Fresno and Solano who took to the streets to demand higher wages, better training, & affordable healthcare! These home care workers play a critical role in our communities by providing essential care that allows individuals to live with dignity and stability.
SEIU Local 2015@seiu2015.bsky.social · 20h agoAll Ways Caring caregivers in Fresno and Solano held picket actions demanding fair wages, proper training, and quality healthcare. Stand with them by signing the petition for a strong union contract: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/quality-care-starts-with-respecting-caregivers/
The fact of the matter is ALL abortion bans are extreme. There's a relentless, coordinated attack on access to safe, legal abortion and the consequences could be huge. As the nation's largest union of healthcare workers, we know that reproductive rights are essential.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · yesterdayTrump's Acting AG Todd Blanche is preparing to roll back abortion access in every state and halt the shipment of abortion pills.
As service & care workers we put in the work to keep our communities going. But corporate greed makes our lives harder. It’s why SEIU members are voting for elected officials who help stop corporate greed, who will demand #UnionsForAll alongside us, & who will walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
AFL-CIO@aflcio.org · yesterdayTop CEOs make 285x what working people (who actually create the profits) do. The rich are getting richer while workers struggle to pay their bills. Americans are right: corporate greed is out of control. A union contract is how we start to balance the scales.
Behind every smile, wave and heartfelt moment are dedicated Cast Members who aim to give visitors memories that will last a lifetime. But as Magic United continues bargaining for a fair first contract, issues like paid parental leave and shift flexibility remain on the line. https://lat.ms/4592zqx
Let's sit with this: the IRS can audit any working person—and audits every president—but it will no longer audit President Trump. This is a privilege that no other American worker has. When working people say the rules are rigged, THIS is what folks mean.
Republicans Let Trump Keep Unparalleled Benefit: I.R.S. Immunity
The rebellion against Todd Blanche’s nomination to be attorney general, now seemingly contained, at no point fundamentally questioned President Trump’s new protections from the I.R.S.

Last year, 600k Black women lost their jobs while 567k Black men lost theirs, according to the BLS. That cost Black America 87 MILLION in income, widening the racial gap further. The fix isn’t complicated. It’s worker power. Shoutout to the Urban League for their State of Black America 2026 report

DYK the median Black household holds 15 cents for every $1 in wealth held by median white households? We barely have enough for retirement. We’re under attack by this admin & we must continue to organize & support each other. Shoutout to the Urban League for their State of Black America 2026 report!

Farmers must be protected from deadly heat. Working people musn’t be forced to collapse at work while protections & safety enforcements are rolled back. We need water, breaks, shade & real protections! Climate change is a labor issue & we’re fighting to make sure worker safety is never optional.
United Farm Workers@ufw.bsky.social · 2d agoYesterday's temperature topped 105° in Fresno. "Carlos" and team were working in the watermelons. "Our team is paid piece rate. The more boxes we fill the more we make. The person closest to the truck has the hardest job so we switch off. This is exhausting work." #WeFeedYou
In case you thought this administration’s greed had any bounds, President Trump now claims he’s entitled to receive reparations from taxpayers! This is after our tax dollars were used for his ballroom instead of ensuring affordable healthcare or raising the minimum wage, by the way…
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Frankly, if you talk about reparations, what they did to me, I had a very good case"
It’s the season of solidarity! 🎶 Shoutout to Delaware North food and beverage workers in Minneapolis who are going ON STRIKE tomorrow for fair wages, affordable health insurance, and job security. #UnionsForAll
UNITE HERE@unitehere.org · 2d agoMinneapolis Noah Kahan fans: don’t buy drinks or concessions at Wednesday’s show - that’s crossing a picket line. Hundreds of Delaware North food and beverage workers in Minneapolis will be walking out on an unfair labor practice strike. Support workers by joining the picket line before the show!
Being stuck at the bargaining table with #GreedyCEOs who claim they don’t have the funds for fair pay increases after they just bragged to shareholders about record profits
Congrats to flight attendants at Canada’s WestJet who won a tentative agreement that includes pay increases after going ON STRIKE against the country’s second-largest carrier! Collective action works 💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻

During the COVID-19 pandemic, security officers were deemed essential, yet their wages, benefits, training, and workplace protections didn’t and still don't reflect that. Improving job quality in this sector is a matter of both economic justice and public safety!
CA private security officers call current training 'insufficient'
Security officers at California schools, hospitals and private companies are only required to get eight hours of training and many said it is not enough.More than 100 security officers rallied

We’re done watching politicians hand out favors to #GreedyCEOs while we struggle to afford healthcare, gas, & groceries. We need elected leaders who prioritize working people. We’re moving on from the status quo that puts profits first due to dark money. Because when workers win, we all win!
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 3d agoCorporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.
This is how this administration’s mass deportation agenda is creating chaos, terror, & fear into our communities and at our workplaces. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL working people, no matter where we were born or the color of our skin.

From legally recognizing tenant unions to coordinating enforcement days with tenants and owners, NYC's housing market is stronger when tenants are mobilized, engaged and represented!
Two lemons instead of a bag. Two potatoes instead of a bag. Waiting a day to buy gas... only to wake up paying even more. That's what an affordability crisis looks like. Working people aren't buying less because they want to. They're buying less because they have to. @32bjseiu.bsky.social
Medicaid touches all of us. It supports the workers who care for our loved ones, keeps hospitals open, helps kids get the care they need, and ensures millions of families can access healthcare. When Congress attacks Medicaid, they attack OUR healthcare. We need MORE investment in care, not less.
Congrats to more than 100 animators, artists, game designers, and software engineers at legendary game maker Wizards of the Coast who voted for their union to win greater job security and pay transparency, clearer policies regarding AI use, and more sustainable workloads! 👏🏼👏🏾👏🏿

BREAKING: Nearly 10,000 UC attending doctors have launched the largest unionization effort in U.S. history with SEIU Doctors United. Together, we're organizing to protect patient care, improve working conditions, and shape the future of medicine. #UnionsForAll
Working people are exhausted from working multiple jobs, deciding what bills can be paid this month, and using buy-now-pay-later apps just to put food on the table. We need relief through higher pay and better benefits within strong union contracts!
Charges have been dropped against SEIU USWW President David Huerta. A win for workers! We won’t stop speaking up to demand justice for all workers, no matter where they were born. We will not be silenced.
“Donald Trump pledged on the campaign trail that he would slash electricity prices in half within 18 months of returning to the White House. That self-imposed deadline is today, and—as with many of the president's promises—he appears to have fallen short of his goal.” Psst… Rates are up 18%.
Trump's 18-month deadline to cut electricity prices in half has arrived. Rates are up 18%.
Yet another broken campaign promise.

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 for more than 17 years. That’s the longest period in U.S. history. And while the cost of living skyrockets, millions of us are forced to survive on the same $7.25/hr. It’s past time for legislators to put working people first and raise the wage! OMFG
