California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO:

Connecticut AFL-CIO:
It’s 2026, and bus drivers in Connecticut still don’t have reliable access to a restroom.
Some drivers are forced to wear DIAPERS just to get through their shift. This is not just inconvenient — it’s inhumane.
Enough is enough. The Transportation Committee must pass HB 5236! pic.twitter.com/ZZ2C7lT0ij

Florida AFL-CIO:
MUST WATCH: @CBSMiami investigative report gets to the truth behind SB 1296. This bill is not by or for Floridians, but out of state interests dead set on erasing working families constitutional rights to collectively bargain and speak for themselves! https://t.co/uwrfjg7ryg

Massachusetts AFL-CIO:
Working people don’t buy Big Tech’s promise of a shiny AI future that will solve all of our problems.
Here in MA, the FAIR Act prioritizes data privacy and human autonomy so we can capitalize on the beneficial aspects of this technology without compromising basic worker rights. https://t.co/ngeH6UNTGq

Minnesota is moving in the right direction, and we made historic gains for workers in 2023 and 2024. It’s up to the Labor Movement to defend that progress and continue moving towards becoming the best state for working people. #mnleg #BetterInAUnion https://t.co/mpfNYAWi2V
