Don’t let the name fool you—there’s nothing beautiful about a bill that guts Medicaid, slashes public services, and hands tax breaks to billionaires.
The “Big Beautiful Bill” is a direct attack on the working class. #HandsOffMedicaid #ThisBillKills

No matter where we live or work, billionaires and those in power often try to silence workers organizing for dignity and justice. @solidaritycenter.bsky.social stands with those workers and that’s why they’re a vital part of the global labor movement. #WorkersRights #Solidarity

Workers Memorial Day is a day to remember those who have died on the job & to reflect on workplace safety.
Trump’s cuts will make jobs less safe -- by gutting the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), workers will lose safety protections & more workers will get hurt.

This is what we’re up against: the rich trying to buy public policy. Whether it's Elon offering $1 million to voters in Wisconsin or landlords paying folks to fake grassroots support in Concord, the wealthy are no longer pretending to play fair.

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us.
We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

The Democrats blew it with non-union workers in the 2024 election. Unions have a plan to get the party on message.
