We’re the state labor federation representing 250,000+ union members. We fight for all Texas workers! linktr.ee/TXAFLCIO
It’s time to wipe the slate. Those in power have forgotten they work for *us*, not the billionaires and CEOs who fill their campaign war chests! We must elect leaders who will fight for Texas workers.
When we fight together, we win! 📣 We’re spotlighting Rep. Lauren Ashley Simmons, a proud member of Texas State Employees Union and the founder of the first-ever Texas Labor Caucus. Lauren fights for us. It’s our turn to have her back at the ballot box for HD 146. #txlege
We’re block walking across the state ’til Nov. 3 to make sure we elect pro-worker candidates who will fight for *us*! Sign up to join us next weekend ➡️ texasaflcio.org/volunteer
“The current state leadership has cowed down to billionaires.” With proven pro-worker candidates at the helm, our schools could have the support they need to thrive. We need leaders that work with the experts—our families and educators, to help our students receive the education they deserve.

Help us hit the pavement in Hutto this Saturday! 👟 We’ll be talking to fellow union members about electing pro-worker champions, like our special guest, Chris Jimenez. Every conversation at the door helps us change Texas for the better! RSVP ➡️ www.mobilize.us/txaflcio/eve...
Workers aren’t just waiting for change—we’re running for it. ✊ Our union-first candidate, Montserrat Garibay, is ready to deliver for working families in Texas House District 49. Let’s bring the union difference to the Texas Capitol!
“He’s not for labor. He’s just for the rich.” While ignoring Texans’ needs, Greg Abbott has accepted millions of dollars in campaign contributions from billionaires. We need elected officials that protect working Texans, not out-of-state billionaires that keep rigging the system against us.
Behind every new building in Texas is a workforce pushing through brutal heat. Dozens of workers have died and thousands more face severe health issues because they were denied basic protections like water breaks. Put people over profits! #txlege
Texas workers face life-or-death heat risks as workplace protections lag
Texas has no statewide heat safety standard for workers, even as OSHA data and researchers suggest workplace heat illnesses are sharply undercounted.

✊ TEXAS UNION WIN: Hidalgo ISD union members just won BIG for district staff! After months of showing up and taking collective action, workers won a 5% cost-of-living adjustment for teachers and a $15/hr minimum wage for hourly employees. That’s the union difference!
Working people are tired of being left behind. We need elected leaders who understand the struggles workers face every day. How do we do that and create an economy that works for all of us? We elect our union family up and down the ballot nationwide.
