On support for @DNC chair Martin, Leader Jefferies says: "“Yes, the chairman has my full support. What we've seen over the last 18 plus months is that Democrats have won every single meaningful election up and down the ballot across the country during that period of time, and we look forward to our continued partnership.”

During the pandemic, these workers went to work every day, despite the risk - and many died. Society couldn’t have survived without them. They were essential workers. They still are essential workers, and they need to be treated with respect! nytimes.com/2026/03/20/us/me…

A Meatpacking Strike in Colorado Is Another Stress to Trump’s Economy

The walkout at the JBS plant in Greeley, Colo., comes as beef prices have soared, cattle supplies have plunged and immigration sweeps have stressed the labor supply.

You’re seeing these incredibly long airport security lines because Senate Republicans have blocked Democratic bills to fully fund TSA seven times in the last two weeks.

America’s unions mourn the senseless killing by federal agents of our @AFGEnational Local 3669 union brother and VA nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti. We reiterate our call for ICE to immediately leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt or killed. aflcio.org/press/releases/af…
AFL-CIO Mourns Killing of Minneapolis Union Member, Reiterates Calls for ICE to Leave Minnesota: The AFL-CIO mourns the senseless killing of another Minneapolis resident by federal agents. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a VA intensive care unit nurse and a member of AFGE Local 3669—a brother in our union family. Our thoughts are with Alex’s loved ones, his union siblings, and the people of Minneapolis at this devastating time. As tens of thousands of Minnesotans made clear peacefully and powerfully yesterday, the Trump administration’s horrific operation—and their actions aimed at stoking violence and chaos—must end. America’s unions join the call for ICE to immediately leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt or killed. We demand local authorities conduct a full, transparent investigation that will lead to accountability for this tragic and violent act, and for Congress to use its power to hold ICE accountable.
