America’s unions stand in solidarity with our @mnaflcio.org union family as they stand up to the federal government’s militarized immigration enforcement, fight for truth and freedom, and demand ICE peacefully leave Minnesota.

Companies are putting us at risk with half-baked AI. Whether on the factory floor or the operating room, we all need guardrails on the use of AI systems to protect our jobs, our freedoms and our lives.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas at corporate stores are fighting for respect and a fair contract while their CEO makes 6,666x what they do.
If Starbucks won’t respect baristas, they don’t deserve our clicks and orders. Delete the Starbucks app!

In economic speeches, Trump claims inflation victory nearly 20 times even as prices bite
A Reuters review of Trump's speeches shows a president rarely acknowledging the strain many Americans say they feel.
www.reuters.com
In this economy, working families are struggling while corporations and billionaires get even richer.
Prices are going up on rent, groceries, health insurance and more. Pretending the economy is fine does nothing to help working people pay the bills.

A.I. Blitzes the Big Game

It felt like every Super Bowl ad this year was for some AI company with tons of money and no accountability.
Working people need AI guardrails to protect our jobs, rights and freedoms so we can actually benefit from this tech, not just Big Tech CEOs.

We marched in the freezing cold today because young workers refuse to accept a rigged economy. Rent is out of control. Child care is unaffordable. Student debt is endless. Young workers with AFGE and all our unions are organizing for a future they can actually thrive in.

AI-powered robots are coming for trade jobs

Working people are worried about how AI will impact their job and their future. That’s why 80% of Americans want common-sense guardrails for AI.
Decisions that lawmakers make now will impact workers for years to come, and they must protect working people.

WNBA Offered No Proposal at Critical CBA Meeting
The sides met in person for the first time in months Monday. The league still hasn’t responded to a December proposal from the players.
frontofficesports.com
The WNBPA players are fighting for fair pay and a real share of the profits THEY create.
The players’ talent, hard work and sacrifice built the league. It’s time for Commissioners Cathy Engelbert and Adam Silver to pay the players what they owe them.
