AFL-CIO Tour Bus Stops in Tucson for Rally to Hold Electeds Accountable
As part of the AFL-CIO’s “It’s Better In a Union” nationwide bus tour, Tucson, Arizona-area workers and members of the Pima Area Labor Federation joined together for a postcard drop and public action on Friday to hold Rep. Juan Ciscomani accountable for his support of President Trump’s disastrous budget bill.
Workers spoke out against the budget’s cuts to essential support services that many in Arizona rely on, like Medicaid and SNAP, which also disproportionately affect immigrant communities and veterans. Ciscomani’s refusal to show up and hear from his constituents was also a major rallying point for attendees.
“Stop being present at other places and be present where we need you [to] start listening to us, where everyone speaks,” said Omar Algeciras, an Army veteran and the vice president of AFGE Local 2391. “Answer our phone calls, show up whenever we ask you to.”

Action Alert: Call to Restore Veterans Affairs Workers’ Union Rights
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the backbone of support for our nation’s brave heroes, providing essential health care, benefits and services that veterans have earned through their service.
But the VA is under attack.
This week, the Trump administration announced that it is ripping up the union contracts of more than 400,000 VA workers—a brazen act of retaliation against the workers and unions who have been standing up to the administration’s illegal actions in court and in the streets.
This union-busting decision is an ambush on the very people who care for our country’s veterans and their right to stand together in a union. It will undoubtedly harm the lifesaving services veterans desperately need.
But we have a way to reverse this decision.
There’s a bipartisan bill in Congress that would overturn President Trump’s executive order and restore collective bargaining rights to federal workers—including those at the VA. The bill already has a majority of members of Congress—Democrats AND Republicans—signed on as co-sponsors.
We just need a few more members of Congress to sign a piece of paper called a “discharge petition” to bring that bill to the floor for a vote.
Will you call your representative and urge them to sign the discharge petition and speak out in support of the Protect America’s Workforce Act (H.R. 2550) right now? Enter your information on this form to receive a call back or dial 844-994-4554 to get started.
More than 1 million union members and thousands more union retirees are veterans. For our federal workers at the VA who depend on our unions to fight for them, and for all the working people who depend on a strong VA for their care, we must stop the job cuts and union-busting.
But this is also bigger than the VA. If Trump thinks he can rip up federal workers’ union contracts with the stroke of a pen, he can do it to every worker in America.
Make no mistake: This is an attack on every union member, every union contract, and the freedom for every single person to have a union on the job and the freedom to speak out.
We have the bipartisan votes we need in Congress to undo this union-busting. We just need to get the bill to the floor for a vote.
Call your member of Congress, and urge them to sign the discharge petition and speak out for the Protect America’s Workforce Act.
Thank you for making a call to help us restore fundamental union rights to workers providing critical veterans’ services.

AFL-CIO Bus Stops for Historic Rally with Chicago History Museum Workers
AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond joined Chicago Federation of Labor President Bob Reiter and Illinois AFL-CIO President Tim Drea on Thursday at a rally supporting AFSCME-represented workers at the Chicago History Museum as they continue their fight against union-busting.
After cultural workers won their election to form a union with AFSCME Council 31 in April 2025, management retaliated by terminating and disciplining multiple worker-activists. More recently, the institution also unilaterally imposed layoffs with no notice to staff.
“Courage is what every one of you is showing right now. It is the same courage that has fortified Chicago’s workers throughout the history of this great union city,” Redmond told the museum workers. “It is the same courage that this museum proudly displays on its exhibition walls. It’s about steelworkers standing up to Republic Steel for the right to a better workplace and a better life. It’s about A. Philip Randolph and the Pullman Porters organizing for dignity and respect.”
Marissa Croft, an AFSCME Council 31 steward who was laid off during contract negotiations, spoke at the rally about the cruel and disrespectful treatment she and her co-workers received from management and how they have found their voice through collective action.
“The most important thing I’ve learned from both Chicago’s history and my own experience is the power of getting together with your fellow workers and talking about your working conditions,” Croft said. “The Chicago History Museum Workers United will keep fighting and winning because we know the power of a union puts us on the right side of history!”

Service & Solidarity Spotlight: Pathfinders Milwaukee Workers Announce Organizing Effort with OPEIU
Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
Workers at Pathfinders Milwaukee petitioned the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) last week for a union election to join Office and Professional Employees (OPEIU) Local 39.
Organizing under the name Pathfinders Employee Collective, more than 70% of staff have signed union authorization cards. Workers at the nonprofit perform a number of essential roles supporting homeless and runaway youth in the area. On Monday, workers rallied in front of Pathfinders’ offices to demand voluntary recognition so they can begin bargaining a contract with better safety standards and protections, higher wages, organizational transparency and greater decision-making power.
“Staff working conditions and impactful, trauma-informed client services are intrinsically tied together,” Rachel Janiak, a street outreach coordinator, said in an Local 39 press release. “If staff come to work feeling unsupported, or unsafe, it can lead to burnout…that takes away from the consistency and support our youth are searching for.”
Pathfinders Development Specialist Michael Clouthier added, “Pathfinders has always prided themselves on their ‘Nothing for us without us’ philosophy toward programming. Now that the workers are unionizing, we can show the community that we advocate for our youth while holistically practicing the tenets of a trauma-informed, empowerment-focused organization!”

Workers Deserve Labor Day: The Working People Weekly List
Every week, we bring you a roundup of the top news and commentary about issues and events important to working families. Here’s the latest edition of the Working People Weekly List.
'Blatant Attempt to Bust Our Unions': Trump Admin Moves to Gut Labor Protections at Veterans Affairs: “Liz Shuler, president of the AFL-CIO, said that ‘every American who cares about the fundamental freedoms of working people should be outraged by this attack on workers' ability to speak out and stand up at the VA.’ ‘It's clear this is explicit retaliation against VA workers whose unions are standing up to the administration's illegal actions in court and in the streets,’ said Shuler. ‘The Trump administration may think they can rip up our contracts and silence anyone who pushes back against their unlawful and anti-worker actions, but we aren't going anywhere. The labor movement will continue to fight this all-out assault on workers with everything we have—and we're calling on Americans across this country to join us.’”
Fred Redmond: Trump Didn’t Just Fail to Protect Black Jobs. He’s Leading Us to Black Unemployment: “President Trump likes to say he is delivering for working people. He promised on the campaign trail that he would protect ‘Black jobs.’ But like so many of his promises, it is an empty one. In fact, we have been living with the effects of Trump’s policies since he took office in January and the only thing he has delivered for us is employment uncertainty and financial insecurity. The July jobs report that came out last week is starting to reflect that.”
Veterans Affairs Terminates Federal Union Contracts: What To Know: “The announcement has drawn significant ire from some of the unions affected. AFGE President Everett Kelley said the union was being punished for ‘speaking out against the illegal, anti-worker, and anti-veteran policies of this administration.’”
U.S. Labor Day Rallies Planned to Protest 'Trump's Authoritarian Anti-Worker Agenda': “In a separate action, the AFL-CIO is organizing nationwide rallies, picnics, and parades as part of its Workers' Labor Day, following a Workers Deserve Labor Day week of action. The union has spent two months crisscrossing the country on a bus tour, highlighting workers' organizing efforts and fights to win fair contracts and working conditions. Despite Trump's deregulatory attacks on workers, the AFL-CIO noted that more than 70% of Americans and nearly 90% of people under 30 support unions. ‘The fight for freedom, fairness, and security has never been more popular,’ said the union.”
Oregon Unions Secure Pay Raises, More Remote Work Flexibility for State Workers: “Most state employees in Oregon will see bigger paychecks and expanded benefits next February under tentative labor agreements reached between the state and its two largest unions. After months of negotiations, state officials agreed to give 6.5% cost-of-living raises over the next two years to members of the Oregon chapters of SEIU and AFSCME, which represent the bulk of the state’s 45,000 full-time workers.”
Spike Lee, Adam McKay and Over 2,000 Writers Decry Trump’s ‘Un-American’ Actions in Open Letter: “More than 2,300 members of the Writers Guild of America, including Spike Lee and Adam McKay, have signed an open letter decrying the actions of Donald Trump’s administration that represent ‘an unprecedented, authoritarian assault’ on free speech.”
American Federation of Government Employees Rally Outside Veterans Hospital: “Early Monday morning, around 20 demonstrators stood on the sidewalk outside the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital to show support for federal workers and veterans. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) planned this rally because they feel there is an attack on the federal workforce, which could impact veterans’ access to health care and benefits. Carol White is the Local 547 Legislative Political Coordinator and she said they want to support federal workers and those who work with veterans.”
AFL-CIO Rolls Out Nationwide Plans for Labor Day: “The AFL-CIO is stepping up its campaign against Donald Trump’s attacks on workers and depredations against their unions both in the streets and in courts—again—as July turned into August and headed for Labor Day. The ‘streets’ part will stretch from New York, Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles to Dallas, Decatur, Corpus Christi, the Twin Cities, St. Louis, Atlanta, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Seattle and D.C., with more sites for rallies, speeches, leafleting, picnics and worker leaders campaigning, all on Labor Day.”
All Major Las Vegas Strip Casinos Are Now Unionized in Historic Labor Victory: “For 25 years, her employer, the Venetian, had resisted organizing efforts as one of the last holdouts on the Strip, locked in a prolonged standoff with the Culinary Workers Union. But a recent change in ownership opened the Venetian’s doors to union representation just as the Strip’s newest casino, the Fontainebleau, was also inking its first labor contract. The historic deals finalized late last year mark a major turning point: For the first time in the Culinary Union’s 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.”

Secretary-Treasurer Redmond Rides into Chicago with Busload of Solidarity for Local Strikes
The AFL-CIO "It's Better In a Union" bus tour arrived in Chicago this week, joining multiple union strike line actions to support workers in the Windy City fighting for respect and dignity at work.
AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond and Chicago Federation of Labor President Bob Reiter rode the bus to an Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 150 rally to support the ongoing unfair labor practice (ULP) strike against QSL America. Workers delivered powerful testimony at the rally about the horrendous safety hazards and management’s infringement on their rights that led to the work stoppage. Meanwhile, participants from the AFL-CIO Street Heat peaceful protest training—happening concurrently in Chicago—boarded a bus of their own to join the event in solidarity.
"Local 150 is leading the way,” Redmond said to a crowd of energized workers. “You’re showing the world that through solidarity, working people can shape our own future and raise standards for all workers. You’re showing the world that the best way to fair pay, to retirement security, to health care and a quality education for you and your family, to a decent life, to a better tomorrow is through a union contract.”
The bus continued its journey through Chicago to support UNITE HERE Local 1 at the Emily Hotel, where workers staged a one-day ULP strike in June over illegal unilateral changes to their working conditions. It also appeared at a Teamsters Local 705 strike action, standing in solidarity with members demanding higher wages, improved benefits and safer working conditions from Mauser Packaging Solutions.

Service & Solidarity Spotlight: UFCW, RWDSU and REI Co-Op Reach Agreement Outlining a Path Forward for Contract Bargaining
Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union-UFCW (RWDSU-UFCW), and outdoor recreation retailer REI announced last week that they have reached an agreement to establish a bargaining structure for union storefronts across the country.
Members of REI Union have been fighting for a first contract for three years that addresses low wages, understaffing and unpredictable shift hours. However, workers say management has been slow-walking negotiations and bargaining in bad faith. The agreement came out of joint meetings in late July in Chicago where workers also secured progress on several key issues. As a result, REI will now retroactively provide wage increases and bonuses to workers at union-represented stores—benefits they had previously been denied—while the union will drop active ULP charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board.
“We want what’s best for all REI workers, our customers, and the co-op,” said the REI Union bargaining committee. “This agreement is a tremendous step forward in negotiating a first contract, and we look forward to continuing to bargain with REI.”

AFSCME Members Hold Arizona Lawmakers Accountable for Budget Votes at AFL-CIO Bus Tour Stop
The “It’s Better In a Union” tour bus made a stop in Phoenix on Wednesday for a press conference where labor leaders, AFSCME members, retirees and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes called for Reps. David Schweikert and Abe Hamadeh to be held accountable for their votes in favor of President Trump’s disastrous budget bill.
The public sector workers who keep Arizona running spoke out about the local impact of funding cuts to hospitals, nursing homes, schools and other services. Approximately 360,000 people in Arizona could potentially lose their health care coverage because Reps. Schweikert and Hamadeh voted to cut Medicaid. Additionally, some 450,000 Arizonans are at risk of losing the vital food assistance they depend on to keep their families fed.
“As an equipment operator for the City of Peoria’s Sanitation Department [Solid Waste Division], I know trash when I see it,” AFSCME Local 3282 President Joshua Capilla said. “And this so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is straight garbage. And the cuts to public services will put Arizonans in danger. Reps. Schweikert and Hamadeh voted to pass this dangerous legislation knowing full well that these cuts will have deep ripple effects on our local budgets and will put our communities in a fiscal hole that could take years to crawl out of.”
Arizona AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer and Executive Director Fred Yamashita added: “David Schweikert and Abe Hamadeh, who claim to represent us in Congress, voted for a bill that defunds our communities to fund tax breaks for billionaires. It's a disastrous piece of legislation that will leave 360,000 Arizonans at-risk of losing health coverage, force our hospitals and nursing homes to cut services or close entirely, and push working families into deeper financial strain with higher grocery bills, energy costs, and more expensive care. Schweikert and Hamadeh's priorities are clear, and they are not the priorities of the working families in their districts. If they won't fight for us, we'll fight back.”

Worker Wins: Standing Together in Solidarity
Our latest roundup of worker wins includes numerous examples of working people organizing, bargaining and mobilizing for a better life.
Thousands of Workers at 45 Nursing Homes Across Pennsylvania Win New Union Contracts: Over the past two months, more than 4,000 SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania members working at nursing homes across the state have won powerful new union contracts. Workers at 45 nursing homes overwhelmingly ratified new agreements that contain standards that will help solve workforce challenges amid larger industry instability and impending Medicaid funding cuts. This includes across-the-board raises, secure retirement plans and further training opportunities. Strong contracts that ensure fair wages and the retention of experienced care providers will remain a critical part of Pennsylvania’s elder care infrastructure as the median age of Americans continues to rise. Especially since Pennsylvania has lost 31 nursing homes since 2021, with more closures expected. “I’m proud of our new contract because it helps us work toward our shared goal of our residents receiving the best care,” said Cheila Martinez, a certified nursing assistant and housekeeper at Spruce Manor in Reading. “My message to nursing home owners refusing to raise standards is: Our residents deserve a safe, clean, and stable home. We, the workers, need the support to give them the care they deserve.”
Raven Software Workers Secure First CBA at Microsoft: Workers at Microsoft-owned Raven Software, who are members of the Game Workers Alliance-CWA (GWA-CWA), voted unanimously on Monday to ratify their first collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Quality Assurance (QA) testers at the video game studio known for the Call of Duty franchise first formed their union in January 2022, making history as the first bargaining unit within Activision Blizzard. After three years of negotiations, GWA-CWA members have secured a contract with a guaranteed 10% wage increase, guardrails for mandatory overtime on time-sensitive work, expanded disability accommodations, layoff protections and much more. “Going from organizing to sitting across the table from one of the largest tech corporations in the world was a huge learning curve, but we never lost sight of why we were there,” said Autumn Prazuch, QA tester and bargaining committee member, in a press release. “We fought hard for raises and job structures that will finally make QA a sustainable career path, and we were able to negotiate limitations on mandatory crunch. Ratifying this contract is a win for game workers everywhere who are ready to take the first step toward a better future.”
Unions Reach Labor Agreement with Washington Commanders Over RFK Stadium Construction: A coalition of Washington, D.C., unions have reached an agreement with the Washington Commanders to create hundreds of union-protected jobs tied to the NFL team’s proposed stadium project. The 190-acre RFK Stadium first opened in 1961 as a multi-purpose venue and hosted multiple professional sports teams, concerts and other events over the course of several decades. The stadium has been largely out of use since 2017, but now that ownership has been transferred over to the District of Columbia, there have been efforts to revitalize the space to bring the Commanders’ home field back to the nation’s capital. Hours before the D.C. Council prepared to vote on whether to move the redevelopment proposal along, the Metropolitan Washington Council, the Baltimore-DC Metro Building Trades Council, 32BJ SEIU and UNITE HERE Local 25 announced that they had reached an exciting labor agreement with the team to ensure that the work created by this project are good-paying union jobs with quality benefits. “After several months of negotiations, our labor organizations have reached and signed agreements with the Commanders ownership team, ensuring that the stadium and adjacent hotels create quality construction and post-construction jobs for District residents,” said the coalition in a joint statement. “We now have a truly transformative development project that will bring the Commanders back home to the District of Columbia and ensure that those who will build and who will work at these properties have decent wages, health insurance, and a pension.”
Lighting Design Group Workers Join IATSE: Workers at the Lighting Design Group (LDG), a television lighting design firm, voted to form a union with United Scenic Artists, IATSE Local USA 829. The bargaining unit includes 34 staff members who work as lighting designers, systems designers, coordinators, draftspeople and assistants at the Emmy Award-winning company. Workers first started organizing in 2019, and their efforts gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic and the LDG’s partial acquisition by a venture capital firm. “It’s one of the hardest times in U.S. history to form a union—and also one of the most crucial,” said Casey Duke, a lighting designer. “By coming together, we’ve built the power to have a say in what matters most on the job.” “This is a proud moment for our local,” said Carl Mulert, national business agent of Local USA 829 and international vice president of IATSE. “The LDG team’s solidarity and commitment to building a voice at work reflect the strength and growth of our organizing culture. We look forward to supporting them in negotiating their first contract.”
Challenge Manufacturing Workers Secure Tentative Agreement: UAW members who work for Challenge Manufacturing—a parts supplier for General Motors and Stellantis vehicles—in Michigan secured a tentative agreement last week after weeks of stalled bargaining. These workers play a vital role in the production of major vehicle models, including the Ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, GMC Hummer EV and Corvette. Despite their major contributions to Challenge Manufacturing’s success, the 400-person bargaining unit has been working under an expired contract since June and has dealt with bad-faith bargaining from management. But UAW members preserved and won a tentative agreement that includes powerful victories like wage increases up to $3 an hour, improvements to job security and greater union protections. “Four weeks ago, the company called their offer ‘last, best, and final.’ It wasn’t good enough—and we fought back,” said James Gonzales, president of UAW Local 653, in a press release. “We stayed united, rejected their proposal, and organized non-stop to hold them accountable. That pressure stopped them in their tracks. Now, we have a tentative agreement with 80% higher wage increases than what was on the table a month ago. Because we stood together in solidarity, we have a much stronger contract to bring to our members.”
Journalists at The Hill Ratify First-Ever Contract: Members of the Washington Baltimore NewsGuild, part of The NewsGuild-CWA, overwhelmingly voted on Wednesday to ratify their first-ever collective bargaining agreement with Nexstar Media Group at political news outlet, The Hill. The Hill Guild bargaining unit—which includes reporters, editors and other newsroom staff—voted 46–1 to accept this contract. Highlights include salary floor increases, annual raises, double the previous amount of parental leave, protections around artificial intelligence usage and provisions guaranteeing job security. “Thanks to this contract, I’m going to get the first three months at home with our new baby,” said Saul Elbein, a member of The Hill Guild’s bargaining team. “It means more than I can say to be able to be at home for those first crucial months.”
Meow Wolf Workers in Houston Announce Organizing Effort to Join CWA: Workers at Meow Wolf, an immersive tourist attraction, announced on Monday that they are organizing to form a union with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 7055. Meow Wolf’s Radio Tave in Houston is a surreal radio station–themed art experience. Staff who are organizing to join Meow Wolf Workers Collective (MWWC-CWA) work across a number of departments, including guest services, tech, art and scenic, facilities, events, food and beverage service, and security. Their counterparts at four other Meow Wolf locations have already won union recognition. “We are so excited and proud to be joining our fellow employees at the other Meow Wolf locations in forming a union. Me and my fellow organizing committee members have been working hard to get to this point, and it’s been a labor of love over the past few months,” said organizing committee member and bartender at Meow Wolf Houston’s Radio Tave Marleigh Flowers in a CWA press release. “We want to have a seat at the table when decisions that impact our day-to-day lives are being made and to be able to voice the concerns and issues that are important to us.” “The workers at Meow Wolf’s Radio Tave location in Houston are carrying forward a momentum that has already brought change to Meow Wolf workplaces across the country,” said CWA District 7 Vice President Susie McAllister. “By standing together, they’re ensuring that the company lives up to its founding values and that the people who bring its art to life are treated with the fairness, dignity, and respect they deserve.”
WGAE Members at CBS News Digital Secure First Contract: Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) members at CBS News Digital have unanimously ratified their first collective bargaining agreement. The 46-member bargaining unit includes writers, reporters, editors and producers who make possible CBSNews.com, its mobile website, social media channels and the CBS News app. Their new contract contains a number of powerful wins, including annual raises, guaranteed minimum severance and protections around generative artificial intelligence. “After organizing in 2024 with the goal of securing critical workplace protections, we’re proud to have won a strong first contract for our members at CBS News Digital,” says Beth Godvik, WGAE vice president of Broadcast/Cable/Streaming News, in a press release. “Establishing protections like guaranteed raises and pay that actually matches the job duties being performed will allow our members to build sustainable careers in News.”
WeDriveU Workers Vote to Ratify New Agreement: Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 689-represented MetroAccess workers operating under WeDriveU voted to ratify a new master contract over the weekend that brings all three Washington, D.C., metro area locations under a single agreement. A paratransit service offered in the region as part of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), MetroAccess is an essential resource for passengers with disabilities. This exciting win comes after workers showed their unity and voted to authorize a potential work stoppage. The new contract ensures that workers at all locations are treated fairly, raises wages and strengthens retirement security. “Our MetroAccess members came together not once, but twice and showed their strength and solidarity to win a strong master contract that treats them with dignity and respects their expertise,” said ATU Local 689 President Raymond Jackson. “First, workers showed near unanimously that if they weren’t treated with respect, they would be willing to strike. Then, again, workers stood together to ratify a strong contract proposal.”
