Rising costs are making it harder for working families to pay the bills. But it’s not just that — stagnant wages are preventing workers from getting ahead. Thank you, @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social for highlighting the dual cost-of-living crisis working people are facing in this economy.

No matter what industry you work in, every working person will feel the impact of AI, including those in transportation jobs. @ttdaflcio.bsky.social President Greg Regan is right: we need guardrails to make sure this new tech doesn’t undermine our safety and protects our rights and our jobs.
With advancing AI tech impacting our economy, this is a transformational moment for students across the country. @aft.org and President @rweingarten.bsky.social have a powerful plan to create thriving classrooms with guardrails for the use of AI in our schools.
We’re at the most important fork-in-the-road moment our economy has faced in 100 years. Let’s put working people first in our AI policies and build a better economy and future for all of us.
Voting rights are workers’ rights. When working people have a real voice at the ballot box, we can elect leaders who protect our right to join a union, ensure safe workplaces, live free from discrimination and retire in dignity. The Supreme Court has undermined workers’ voices.

Working people are forced to cut back on the essentials like groceries and gas, while billionaire CEOs and giant corporations get even richer. Enough is enough. A union contract is how workers, who actually create the profit, take back their power and get their fair share.
Now more than ever, we need a strong and united global labor movement that can challenge the power of a few billionaires over the rest of us. The labor movement is mobilizing to build worldwide solidarity and fight for economic justice for workers everywhere.
This conversation about the future of work has centered around the vision of Big Tech billionaires. They lay out their plans for an A.I. future; their ideas for who should win, who should lose. And what has been missing from those conversations is the voice of working people.
