We recently marked a dark and unprecedented moment – for all of us at AFGE, and for working Americans nationwide. Make no mistake: this isn’t just politics as usual. This administration is systematically targeting our constitutional rights. If they succeed here, the attack won’t stop at federal employees. But our fight is far from over. This immoral, un-American attack will only strengthen the entire labor movement’s resolve to fight for the workers across the federal government. We must fight injustice everywhere it arises—whether it’s at federal agencies, in Congress and state legislatures, at the ballot box, in the streets, and on shop floors across the nation.

This Week in Labor History
Apr. 15, 1889: Birthdate of A. Philip Randolph, an African-American union organizer and civil rights leader. Founder and first president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1925, he took on the powerful Pullman Company forcing them to bargain with his union. In the 1940s, he showed the same determination in pressuring two presidents to integrate the defense industries and armed forces. A decade later, he led civil rights demonstrations culminating in the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
