When working people come together, we can stand up to the wealthiest CEOs and the most powerful politicians. America’s unions are mobilizing across the country to talk to our union family and neighbors and make sure that every workers’ voice will be heard in this election.

Thank you to AFSCME President Lee Saunders for decades of service fighting for workers across the country. As he makes his final keynote address as President at the AFSCME Convention, I’m feeling committed as ever to carrying on his legacy of defending working families and strengthening organized labor all over Minnesota.

There’s something powerful about coming together with our union siblings, especially in a moment like this.
Lee, I’m grateful we’ve had the chance to stand in this movement together. Much love to you and the entire @AFSCME family. 💜

What an honor to receive @AFSCME’s Spirit of Public Service Award.
Chicago is a union town, and I’m proud to have spent my career standing with working people. Their agenda has always been my agenda: good jobs, strong unions, and dignity for every worker.
Thank you to AFSCME’s members for all you do to keep our communities strong. I’ll always stand with you.

Public service workers keep our essential services running every day. During #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek, America’s unions honor all public service workers, their skills, and their commitment to make our communities and working people everywhere strong.

I had the pleasure of meeting today with @AFSCME nurses to discuss fair wages and community safety efforts. Nurses deserve fair pay, safe staffing, and the benefits that allow them to care for their own families.
As the son and grandson of nurses, I have seen firsthand the hard work and sacrifices our nurses make every single day. They are the backbone of our healthcare system, and I will never stop fighting for them.

Let’s be real! Keeping quiet right now isn’t cutting it. Working people are under attack, prices keep climbing, and we are fed up. This country isn’t owned by billionaires trying to rig the system. It belongs to working families. @AFSCME & @no_kings afscme.org/no-kings

CA's local health depts stand w/ @AFSCME in calling on @usedgov to reject new rules restricting access to student loans for professionals pursuing advanced degrees, like nurses & public health workers.
Weakening student loan access will deepen #PublicHealth workforce shortages!

With the #SuperBowl just days away, we’re excited to see our @NFLPA union brothers play the big game!
Whether on the gridiron or the factory floor, America’s unions have you covered 🏈

Same scheme, different name, still illegal.
Schedule Policy/Career (aka Schedule F) will fill our government with flunkies and loyalists, and fire career civil servants.
We have successfully challenged the admin’s efforts to undermine the civil service & will continue to do so.
