Federal workers are locked out of their jobs or are being forced to work without pay because the Trump administration shut down the government after refusing to fix the mounting health care crisis—and working families nationwide are paying the price.

Very good news from the east of Germany, where the far-right (AfD) has its strongest base - the AfD got soundly defeated in two mayoral elections, in places where they were trying to use the presence of people seeking asylum as a decisive issue. Many voters rejected that outlook. That's hopeful.

Wieder ein schlechter Tag für die AfD im Osten.
Deklassiert in der OB-Stichwahl in Frankfurt (Oder) und sogar in Eisenhüttenstadt - wo sie sich echte Hoffnung machte - deutlich verloren.

Imagine a world without labour rights…
No minimum wage. No safety. No voice.

We need a New Social Contract that delivers:
✊ Trade union rights
💼 Good jobs
💰 Decent wages
🛡️ Social protection
⚖️ Equality and inclusion

Decent work is not a privilege — it’s a right. #WDDW25

President Trump is shutting down the government, using federal workers as pawns and threatening to fire them—all to avoid fixing ACA cost spikes. They chose chaos over governing.

Put working people first. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. aflcio.org/press/releas...
