The myth: Union construction costs taxpayers more. The reality: Union-led projects can be completed faster and with significantly smaller cost increases. governing.com/infrastructure…

The Myth That Unionized Construction Costs Governments More

As a new study shows, public works projects built by union labor deliver superior workforce supply, productivity and safety outcomes, better controlling overall costs and finishing the work faster.

Union construction delivers results. New analysis found union-led projects had smaller cost increases and were completed 14% to 22% faster than non-union projects. When we invest in skilled union workers, we build better, faster and more efficiently! capitolweekly.net/21970-2/

Extreme heat is a workplace safety issue. You have the right to speak up about unsafe conditions and to act together with your coworkers to demand a safer workplace. aflcio.org/heat

Heat at Work | AFL-CIO

Exposure to heat at work has long been recognized as a health and safety hazard. Climate change is worsening the problem as heat at work becomes more deadly every year.

America’s unions are coming together to train, mobilize working people, organize and protect the vote for the 2026 midterm elections. When we stand together and fight, there’s no billionaire boss or anti-worker politician who can stop us ✊

As @IBEW’s Austin Keyser writes, “the infrastructure behind today’s economy and tomorrow’s AI breakthroughs will be built somewhere. The only question is whether America builds it or bans it.“ Keyser says in central Ohio, data center construction now accounts for 40% of all building trades work hours. thehill.com/opinion/technolo…

America can’t afford to stop building our AI future

Banning the AI infrastructure build is a serious mistake.

What would happen if union membership in America tripled? Workers would get a 14.5% raise, more than $7,700 every year. A union contract is how we can start to balance the scales. More from @Steelworkers International President @BrownRox: laprogressive.com/labor-soci…

Want to Rebuild the Middle Class? Triple Union Membership

New research finds that raising union membership to 30 percent could boost wages by 14.5 percent, expand health coverage, reduce inequality, and restore economic power to working Americans.

Some trade schools are charging vets $15K+ for a few days of training (👀 @nytimes @washingtonpost this week). NECA / @IBEW apprenticeships are the opposite. 4-5 years, accredited, paid, real journeyman credentials. Quality training isn't a shortcut. #WeAreNECA

What would a 14.5% raise mean to you? What about better health care? Stronger job and retirement security? That’s what working people would get if union density tripled in America. Unions have the power to transform the lives of working people.
