Getting spammed by anti-union emails?

These groups claim they’re looking out for us, but they’re funded by wealthy, out-of-state interests trying to weaken our unions and chip away at the services our communities rely on. We’re not falling for it.

Stick together, stay informed, stay union strong.

A close-up photo of a small white chihuahua with big teary eyes and a strained, emotional expression, looking as if it’s about to cry. Above the dog, bold text reads: “When someone asks why workers need a union… and I remember everything we’ve been through.”

THIS is worker power.

Congress is moving the Protect America’s Workforce Act after federal workers stood up, spoke out, and pushed back against the President’s union-busting order.

A huge victory and we’re just getting started. ✊🏾🎉

To every worker keeping our communities moving and safe: THANK YOU! Stay safe, take care of one another, and reach out if you need support.
Image reads: Washington is experiencing devastating flooding, and our hearts are with every community impacted. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the frontline workers who are out right now mitigating the storm’s effects, especially our own members. Storms like this put enormous strain on wastewater treatment systems, and our wastewater members are doing critical, often invisible work to keep our communities safe. Thank you! We also know these storms are disrupting daily life across the region. Roads and commutes are a mess and multiple schools are closed. K-12 staff have been hit particularly hard, as well as child care providers who are navigating flooded neighborhoods while still caring for families. Your resilience and commitment do not go unnoticed. To every worker keeping our communities moving and safe: THANK YOU! Stay safe, take care of one another, and reach out if you need support.

Nothing says solidarity like a well-timed ‘atta girl.’

#UnionsForAll #SolidaritySeason
Two stills from an office scene from the movie "9 to 5". In the first panel, a woman in a burgundy jacket storms past desks while another woman at her typewriter looks over, surprised. A black-and-yellow caption reads, “That’s it! They crossed the line. I’m filing a grievance.” In the second panel, the same woman at the typewriter smiles proudly and says, “Atta girl!” The office is full of desks, typewriters, and coworkers working in the background.

Americans across the political spectrum support unions. And a bipartisan majority in Congress supports restoring federal workers’ union rights.

Workers organized. Now Congress must deliver.

A meme formatted like a conversation. The first text block reads “US: Connecting understaffing → burnout → turnover → higher costs.” The next block says “MANAGEMENT: I never thought of it that way.” Below that, the final “US:” label appears above an image from SpongeBob SquarePants of three fish characters standing together with blank, stunned expressions, conveying disbelief at management’s response.

When two giants merge, workers lose bargaining power and audiences lose diverse stories. Consolidation is great for CEOs, but not for the people who make or watch the shows.

#UnionsForAll #StopTheMerger
Meme with four panels showing increasingly illuminated brain images. Panel 1 text: “Netflix and Warner Bros. are merging. Interesting.” Panel 2 text: “Wait… fewer studios means fewer shows get made.” Panel 3 text: “Crap, that leads to less creative and diverse content.” Panel 4 text: “Mega-mergers kill jobs and gut bargaining power for workers.” Each panel is paired with an image of a progressively more activated human brain.
