In true solidarity fashion, @dropkickmurphys brought our Denver Area Labor Federation president on stage to sing to the iconic ‘Worker’s Song’ during their performance in Denver this Sunday!

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

And our unions must do this each time, every time. pic.twitter.com/NdUyN8G6xw
