Over 14,000 Starbucks workers have unionized since 2021, but they still don’t have a union contract because of Starbucks’ stalling.
That’s why we, @jayapal.house.gov, & over 80 Members of Congress are calling on Starbucks to stop union-busting & reach a contract with @sbworkersunited.org

The numbers are clear: we’ve lost over 150,000 energy jobs because of Trump’s energy crisis.
@climatepower.bsky.social’s new report shows that while Trump has squashed hundreds of thousands of jobs, energy bills have spiked across the country.
Working families deserve better.

Workers keep Americans moving by building & operating our nation's highways, railroads, & ports.
We're fighting for pro-worker transportation policies in Congress to invest in our infrastructure, keep America safe, and strengthen domestic manufacturing.

Today marks the longest government shutdown in American history.
For 36 days, Republicans have refused to negotiate to reopen the government. Instead, they’re firing federal workers & canceling construction jobs.
Workers aren’t pawns. It’s time for bipartisan negotiations.

There are more than 2.9 million federal workers across our country – including 45,000 civil servants in #MD03 alone – who are all being acutely and disproportionately impacted by this shutdown, but who have also been under constant assault by this Administration.

We need trade policies that level the playing field for workers and bring good jobs back home.
We’re calling for improvements to our trade deal with Mexico and Canada that support American workers by cracking down on corporate offshoring, scrutinizing Chinese investment, and raising wages.

UAW members at Mack Trucks stood up to change our broken trade deals that have devastated blue collar communities across the country. On Nov. 1st, they won a 25% tariff on heavy and medium duty trucks, and a lifeline for the workers who built these companies.
