Alaska AFL-CIO:
Paid sick leave didn’t just happen.
Alaska voters passed it, 58–42. Lawmakers tried to gut it. We fought back.
One year later, it’s still standing because Alaskans fought for it.#AlaskaAFLCIO pic.twitter.com/dWYJZHv9Za

Florida AFL-CIO:
“The purpose of a ballot summary is to explain what an amendment would do, not to advocate for its adoption.” We’re happy to see the court recognize Amendment 3 for how misleading it truly is—a burden and cost shift on working families being disguised and sold as “savings.” https://t.co/tagOUdN1uB
