America’s unions honor the memory of all of those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, including more than 600 members of our union family whom we continue to mourn today.
The labor movement will continue to stand in solidarity and honor their legacy.

Nurses are organizing for safe staffing, better patient care, and a voice on the job. Prime Healthcare responded by placing six nurses on unpaid leave. We won’t be silenced. Stand with Olympia Fields nurses.

Thank you to Lee Saunders for 14 years of fighting for the workers who keep our communities running — and congratulations to Patrick Moran, @AFSCME's new International President!
In Illinois, it gets HOT in the summer. Heat safety standards keep workers safe and job sites running smoothly. These protections should be strengthened, not rolled back.
