Trump and DOGE destroyed an important independent federal agency that mediates labor conflicts called the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). That's why AFT is fighting back. Watch & share the video to learn more.

Today marks the beginning of Yom HaShoah (Days of Remembrance of the Holocaust Victims), an 8-day period to honor the more than 6 million who perished at the hands of fascist Nazis. It also commemorates the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. We cannot let this happen again. (1/2)

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

May Day is about power — celebrating workers' power and honoring those who fought for it. While Trump, Musk, and the GOP gut workers’ rights and sell our country out for profit, we’re teaming up with a coalition of organizations for a nationwide day of mobilization.

This is just for my RIF’ed fellow feds in the area. The recess is almost over and I was asked to boost a good call to action. If you can meet the requirements below, DM me for a link to get more info (doing it this way to prevent spam/ bad actors).

The more Americans learn about DOGE, the less they trust it and Elon Musk. From slashing federal jobs to messing with Social Security, Musk has turned DOGE into a danger to workers, not a solution. Voters want it gone.

Please read this thread. When you get to the final post, read it twice & ask yourself the same question the author asks. We don't leave this decade unchanged.

Our 2025 Death on the Job report is here. We found that 385 U.S. workers die EACH DAY from hazardous working conditions in the most recent data. A safe workplace is a right, and we’ll keep fighting to make that a reality. aflcio.org/reports/dotj...

With heavy hearts, we encourage you to read these parting thoughts from one of our colleagues. 💔 The loss of thousands like him is hard to fathom. The reality hasn't fully sunk in. But this much is true: We will continue the fight together in whatever ways we can.

Just cause protections for federal employees come from the Civil Service Reform Act and are rooted in the US Constitution. Trump cannot just create at will precarious government employees.

Looks like it's time for a little fact checking... First, we'd like to note Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer provides absolutely no evidence for "rampant" anti-Christian bias at DOL. BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING IT UP. WTAF.

We’ve released our 34th annual report "Death on the Job: The Toll of Neglect.” More than 5k workers are dying on the job, but the Trump admin and DOGE are putting all workers at greater risk by enacting policies that create dangerous working conditions. aflcio.org/press/releas...

100+ civil society organizations call on @USDOL to restore $500M in funding to combat #forcedlabor & #childlabor. These funds are essential to protect children and to end #humantrafficking. Pls RT @alt-dol.altgov.info @greenhousenyt.bsky.social stopchildlabor.org/press-releas...

Inadequate workplace safety laws resulted in the deaths of 5,283 workers, and an estimated 135,304 workers died from occupational diseases. Every worker has the right to come home safe at the end of the day, but that basic right is under attack.

When 20% of the Department of Labor is pushed out, workers are unprotected. Fewer staff means more child labor, more wage theft, and more dangerous workplaces.

Dept. of Labor leadership is warning staff against speaking with journalists, regardless of what info is discussed. That's not going to stop my @propublica.org colleagues from listening. Here's how to reach them: www.propublica.org/tips/

In a new story, the @newyorker.com shows how canceling DOL's international grants can also hurt American workers. 🔗 archive.is/bSwoM Thank you to all the brave staff who are speaking out despite threats from the administration! (AltDOL got a mention in this one, too 🤩)

More than 2,700 of the DOL’s 14,578 employees have been coerced into signing a "voluntary" separation agreement. Let that sink in. The truth? There was nothing voluntary about this. It was the least terrible option taken by people who were threatened with being fired if they didn't resign.

DOL staff just received a threatening email from Chief of Staff Jihun Han on "unauthorized communications" - calling it our "only warning." So they can trash us but we can't trash them (i.e., tell the truth) ... got it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈😈😈

#EggRoll2025 was a vomit-inducing display of capitalism and Christian nationalism from "the fertilization president" who claims to be "bringing religion back." The #AltGov fam made a game called #OvaryRoll send a message to the bad eggs in the White House. Try it! Ovaryroll.com
