Thank you to everyone who came out to our film screening of @americandreamdoc! If we stand together, we can change the rules of the economy to benefit working people. The billionaire class only wins when we are divided. ✊

A union is the #1 tool workers have to level the playing field.
When fewer workers are in a union, the billionaire class puts more and more money in their own pockets.
The only effective answer to organized greed is organized labor! ✊

Since the 1970s, there has been a significant increase in the gap between worker productivity and wages. In other words, workers are becoming more efficient and not benefiting from the rise in their productivity.

Right-to-work laws are about as anti-worker as they come. They do nothing but lower wages and jeopardize the safety of workers.
Don't let the flashy messaging fool you, "Right-to-Work" means the "Right-to-Work-For-Less." #LaborMonth2025 #1u

Last week's #TownHall was a huge success!
Nearly 500 Alaskans attended, made their voice heard, and put our congressional delegation on notice. The "Big Beautiful Bill" will be disastrous for our state, and we won't forget the "yes" votes of those who supported it. #UnionStrong #1u
