Trump wants to give almost $5 trillion in tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations — paid for on the backs of seniors, veterans, public workers, and little kids.

Donald Trump has shown us again and again he doesn't care about workers.
He just issued an illegal executive order attacking federal unions and stripping workers’ of their rights. It’s the definition of union-busting.
To every worker in America: now is our time to fight back.

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.

Stripping civil service unions of their rights is an attack on the values and principles that built the middle class.
This attempt at union busting is another malicious action that will hurt public services and increase the burden on working Americans.

Elon Musk called Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.”
Now, he wants to fire workers who make sure your grandma gets her monthly check.
I've got a message for Elon: get your hands off our Social Security.
