"You don’t lose your constitutional rights when you decide to become a teacher—the Constitution, for it to have any meaning at all, has to work for all Americans, not just some." - @rweingarten @texasaft aft.org/press-release/texas-…

On International Human Rights Day and every day, America’s unions are committed to fight for the dignity, rights and freedoms we deserve, including the right to join or form a union.
We’ll keep mobilizing to defend those rights for all — at home in America and around the world.

On this day 70 years ago, in a historic move that changed the course of the labor movement forever, the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations, the two largest labor federations, merged to form the AFL-CIO.
Happy Founding Day!
ALT Dec. 5, 1955 AFL-CIO Founding Day.

Democrats are comfortable fighting Trump, but to change the country we need to do more than critique; Americans want solutions & there’s lots of room to work on economic pathways to success and creating opportunity for all. Thanks @DashaBurns 4 the time

AFT stood up to the Trump administration when it refused to follow the law & denied borrowers the relief they were owed - and we won. We won’t stop fighting until college is affordable & taking out a student loan doesn’t trap borrowers in a cycle of debt. aft.org/press-release/follow…

The Trump admin is locking workers out of their jobs.
Canceling critical infrastructure projects across the country will raise our energy bills and put workers’ jobs in jeopardy.
Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

One thing is clear — Ciattarelli is scared of @MikieSherrill winning and that's why he's resorting to gutter tactics.
Jack had his allies illegally leak her Social Security number, home address, and personal insurance info in a desperate attempt to smear her military record.

Unless Congress acts, 22 million people who get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could see their costs increase by 75%.

President Trump’s executive order to gut federal workers’ union rights was the worst act of union-busting in history. But the Senate just introduced a bipartisan bill to stop it.
