Tearing up union contracts, taking Medicaid and SNAP away from millions of workers and gutting essential services is not putting “American workers first” — it’s protecting billionaires and greedy corporate CEOs while leaving working families increasingly vulnerable.

AFL–CIO President: We’re taking this bus across the country to highlight what’s happening with these cuts we just saw in the worst job-killing bill in history. This bus is going to show up everywhere. We’ll be outside VA hospitals and grocery stores, showing how these SNAP cuts will impact families.

It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the DC33 city worker strike in Philly so far. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country.

Philly is in its first municipal strike in the social media age. Does that affect how events are unfolding?
So far, the national press has largely ignored Philadelphia's first strike by city workers since 1986.

🚨 For the first time since 1986, Philly’s AFSCME DC 33 is going on strike. The union represents thousands of blue collar city workers (including street pavers and sanitation workers) and is the city’s largest—and lowest paid—municipal workers union. The strike will begin at 12:01am on July 1st. 🚨
