A new AFL-CIO poll found that a majority of union members say the country is moving in the wrong direction, with many complaining that Trump has done nothing to reduce inflation.

AFL-CIO President Liz Schuler condemned President Donald Trump's deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and described the unlawful overreach as an attack on all workers.

Our commitment as the AFL-CIO, as the Labor Movement, is we’re not going to be looking back in 10 years like we did with the air traffic controllers saying we should have done something. We’re going to use every resource that we have.

Workers deserve the right to collectively bargain, full stop.
