NEW: The AFL-CIO labor federation says it’s spending seven figures on television and radio ads aimed at bolstering Senate support for the #PROAct, which would make it easier for workers to join unions.

huffpost.com/entry/organize…
We're mobilizing for the #PROAct by reminding folks of what they already know: getting a return on your hard work shouldn’t be this hard. #1u

AFL-CIO Calls on @GM and Mexican Labor Authorities for Fair Silao Facility Election

On Feb. 1 and 2, more than 7,000 workers at the General Motors (GM) Silao facility, in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, will cast their vote to elect a new union to represent them.
This election takes place after a Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM) union contract, considered a “protection contract” by many observers, was thrown out in August in a legitimation vote required by the Mexican labor law reform.
In April, the first attempt at a legitimation vote was annulled because of serious irregularities that resulted in a complaint under the labor chapter of the USMCA.

The AFL-CIO; @AFTunion; @NationalNurses; @AFSCME; @UFCW; the @steelworkers; @RWDSU; and @SEIU issued the following statement on @OSHA_DOL removing the #COVID-19 emergency temporary standard (ETS) for health care workers ⬇️
First and foremost, we strongly disagree with the Biden administration’s decision to discontinue the enforceable OSHA ETS for health care workers. With the omicron variant surging and no permanent standard in place, our front-line heroes are in grave danger of COVID-19 infection.
Workplace COVID-19 outbreaks are exploding; recent data show the number of infections doubled and deaths nearly quadrupled among nursing home workers alone.

Thank you @SenWarren @SenSherrodBrown @SenSanders @SenatorBaldwin for bringing attention to this issue. What does Apollo Global Management have to do with the strike by 900 @mineworkers in Alabama? It’s a complicated story, but here goes…

1/15
In 2015, the price of coal was in the dumps. Mining company Walter Energy had sustained quarter after quarter of losses and was quickly burning through its available cash and trying to postpone some of its cash interest payments. Something had to give.

2/15
So, in March 2015 Walter Energy entered into negotiations with a committee of its largest senior lenders, and several months later filed for bankruptcy in the Northern District of Alabama.

The labor movement, the AFL-CIO and the nation lost a legend today. Rich Trumka devoted his life to working people, from his early days as president of the United Mine Workers of America to his unparalleled leadership as the voice of America’s labor movement.
He was a relentless champion of workers’ rights, workplace safety, worker-centered trade, democracy and so much more. He was also a devoted father, grandfather, husband, brother, coach, colleague and friend. Rich was loved and beloved.
Today, the 56 unions and 12.5 million members of the AFL-CIO mourn the passing of our fearless leader and commit to honoring his legacy with action.

#PROAct Thread Continued:

The data validates their perception. Since 1979, wages for workers in the bottom 90% grew by less than 24%. The decline in union representation has lowered the median hourly wage by $1.56, a 7.9% decline (0.2% annually), from 1979 to 2017.
The past year has exacerbated real economic and social difficulties for working people in the United States and has only made pre-existing disparities worse.
Our decades-old labor laws are no longer equipped to protect worker voice on the job or to promote collective bargaining as originally intended.

#PROAct Thread Continued:

In truth, the PRO Act merely codifies the NLRB’s existing practice, which has been in effect for over six years, to ensure workers have access to convenient and timely information leading up to the election.
Eligibility list privacy concerns are a red herring created by employer groups and corporations who fundamentally oppose the PRO Act.
The NLRB itself and multiple federal courts have acknowledged that the very eligibility list requirements found in the PRO Act do not pose increased privacy concerns.
