United Auto Workers members went on strike last week, and just like with striking SAG and AFTRA workers, their action resonates across the labor movement. "Working people have the collective power to demand the respect and fairness we deserve," said AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler. "UAW, we've got your back and will stand with you however long it takes to win a fair contract that recognizes your value!"

On Saturday, September 23 at noon, workers at MOM’s Organic Market in College Park (9801 Rhode Island Avenue, College Park, MD) along with elected officials and community leaders will rally to protest the company’s efforts to dissuade other workers from unionizing by discriminating against workers who are active in the union.

September 15 marks the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. This month is about honoring the immense contributions our Latino communities have made, especially in the labor movement's ongoing fight for economic and racial justice. Si se puede!

This week we express our gratitude to workers in the construction trades for your dedication, expertise, and craftsmanship. Trades workers endure challenging conditions, work tirelessly, and ensure our safety while building our world.
