Trump's attack on overtime pay is just another way he's siding with corporate greed over hardworking Americans.
Workers see through the lies and aren’t buying his BS anymore— and we’re fighting back.
In the workplace, a child will learn valuable skills they can’t apply elsewhere. At public schools, they learn to hate their parents and the very things that make them free.

Some would love for workers to take Trump at his word & forget what he did as President. But we didn't forget. And Project 2025 shows he'll pick up right where he left off: dissolving unions, gutting worker protections, & defunding whole parts of the government people rely on.
This isn’t a gaffe and he didn’t just misspeak — Trump said this in Michigan on Friday and Pennsylvania today. Trump cut overtime for millions of Americans as President — and his Project 2025 agenda will do it again.
NEWS: Project 2025 director Paul Dans has stepped down at Heritage Foundation after pressure from Trump campaign leadership, ongoing power rift over staffing control for potential second Trump admin, per internal email. This suggests Project 2025 will likely shut down. Story TK.

Governor Walz isn’t only an ally to labor – he’s our union brother with a deep commitment to a pro-worker agenda. Labor stands united behind the Harris–Walz ticket and ready to help lead the effort to defeat Trump, Vance and their Project 2025 agenda.
The AFL-CIO Executive Council unanimously voted today to reaffirm its commitment to re-electing President Biden and VP Harris. Unions have never wavered in our support of them because they’ve never wavered in their commitment to working people.

There has been no greater champion in the White House for America’s workers than President Joe Biden. With our deepest gratitude and respect, we honor President Biden’s choice to not run for re-election.
Minimum wage increased yesterday for nearly half of all U.S. states: AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MI, MN, MI, MO, NB, NJ, NY, OH, RI, SD, VT, WA, and Washington, DC.
Union members remember how VP Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to save more than a million pensions. President Trump’s budgets proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare - and both are on the chopping block if he wins again. The choice is clear:

After much pushback, OSHA now says they will require employers to report COVID-19 cases among their workers to the agency. The AFL-CIO and others hammered the Trump admin over this and said their initial guidance was crazy. Background here:

I've never seen another company disclose spending anywhere close to that in a single year.

The AFL-CIO – America’s largest labor federation – endorsed Biden-Harris for re-election last June, our earliest presidential endorsement in history. We voted to reaffirm that support last week. No president has been more invested in helping workers than Joe Biden.
If JD Vance were pro-worker, he would have supported the PRO Act. But he didn’t - he opposed it, and introduced his own legislation to allow corporate bosses to create their own sham unions.
Vance doesn’t care about workers - he just wants to put more money into the pockets of

Donald Trump has a miserable record of breaking every promise he’s made to working people - so it’s no surprise he chose a vice president who will be nothing more than a rubber stamp for that anti-worker vision.

This change happens when we mobilize & elect lawmakers who fight for us up and down the ballot.
