Service & Solidarity Spotlight: New Jersey Workers Take AI Training Into Their Own Hands
Service & Solidarity Spotlight: New Jersey Workers Take AI Training Into Their Own Hands
Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
In a national first, the New Jersey State AFL-CIO, the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development (NJDOL) and Rowan College of South Jersey are launching a statewide artificial intelligence (AI) training program that will help workers understand AI, use it on the job and protect themselves from its risks.This grant-funded initiative offers a worker-focused alternative as opposed to training programs developed solely by technology companies or employers. Union members who are already seeing AI introduced in our workplaces will help shape what is taught and how the training is delivered.“AI is changing the workplace whether working people have a say in it or not. We believe they deserve to have a say,” said New Jersey State AFL-CIO President Charles Wowkanech. “Workers should know how to use new technology to make their jobs safer and more productive. They should also know their rights and how to protect themselves when that technology is used unfairly.”“This groundbreaking program ensures that working people have a say in how AI is used in their workplaces,” said acting NJDOL Commissioner Kevin D. Jarvis. “AI should be a tool to empower workers, not replace human judgement and decision-making. We’re bringing workers, unions, educators and state government together to make sure technology works for people, not the other way around.”

Are You Registered? Confirm Now.
Are You Registered? Confirm Now.
Union members know better than anyone how important it is to make our voices heard at the ballot box. Voting is the heart of our democratic process—and our labor movement’s, too.
That’s why we’re celebrating National Voter Registration Day, the single largest voter registration day in the country. Today’s the day to make sure your family, co-workers, neighbors and friends who care about electing pro-worker candidates are ready and registered to vote! Many states have voter registration deadlines coming up in the next few weeks, some as early as the first week of October. Will you take a moment to check your voter registration status?CHECK YOUR REGISTRATIONAfter you fill out the form, you’ll see voting dates and deadlines for your state—be sure to write them down or take a screenshot! It’s really important to check your voter status early, so you don’t miss any registration deadlines or run into surprises when it’s time to vote.We need every vote this year to send leaders to Washington who will work for the people who make this country run, not the greedy CEOs and billionaires who take all the profits. But the rich and powerful, and their allies in Congress and the White House, are trying to make it harder for working people to vote. This means we have to be more ready and more organized than ever. The first step in making a plan to vote for pro-worker candidates this November is checking and updating your voter registration. Thank you for getting ready to vote in November!

Service & Solidarity Spotlight: Hofstra Faculty Approve New Five-Year Union Contract
Service & Solidarity Spotlight: Hofstra Faculty Approve New Five-Year Union Contract
Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
Faculty at Hofstra University—who are members of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), an affiliate of AFT—have ratified a new contract.Union members overwhelmingly approved the agreement last week, securing annual raises of between 3% and 3.5% over the lifetime of the five-year deal.“Months of hard work, extensive negotiations, and active participation by our membership and community achieved this outcome,” AAUP Hofstra said in a statement. “We thank our members for their participation and unity throughout the entire process; hundreds attended meetings, participated in an on-campus rally, voted to support job actions, signed strike pledges, mobilized their networks to sign a petition to President Poser, shared their views, and took part in the final contract vote.”

‘Politicians Need to Center Workers and Kitchen Table Issues’: The Working People Weekly List
‘Politicians Need to Center Workers and Kitchen Table Issues’: The Working People Weekly List
Every week, we bring you a roundup of the top news and commentary about issues and events important to working families. Here’s the latest edition of the Working People Weekly List.
New AFL-CIO Tech Institute Report Finds Electronic Shelf Labels Cost Workers Billions in Lost Wages: “Yesterday, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) and the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), which represent 1.2 million essential workers across North America, including 800,000 workers in the grocery industry, released a statement in response to a new report from the AFL-CIO Tech Institute that finds the widespread adoption of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) would cost workers in New Jersey over $300 million in lost wages and hours and mean 7,500 fewer jobs for the Garden State.” Hofstra Faculty Approve New Five-Year Union Contract with Raises: “Hofstra University faculty approved a new, five-year union contract Wednesday night, ratifying an agreement that sets the terms of their employment for the coming years. The contract, which the union said was ‘overwhelmingly’ approved, provides annual raises for both full-time and part-time faculty, starting with a 3.5% increase on Sept. 1, 2026, followed by 3% increases in 2027, 2028 and 2029, and a 3.25% increase in 2030. ‘Months of hard work, extensive negotiations, and active participation by our membership and community achieved this outcome,’ the Hofstra AAUP said in a statement.” Despite Trump’s Pressure, Companies that Maintained Their DEI Programs Did Just Fine: “Whether you love DEI, despise it or view it with uninterest, there’s no question that President Trump’s relentless assault on the principle threw a ticking bomb into the upper echelons of corporate and institutional managements. Businesses, universities, law firms and nonprofits felt themselves bound to consider how bucking Trump’s anti-DEI policies might translate into lost revenues, contracts and government grants. Many decided that capitulation was the safe choice. Now there’s evidence that many need not have worried. According to researchers at UC Berkeley and Stanford, firms that maintained their diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the face of the Trump attacks paid no financial price.” Blizzard Video Game Workers Ratify Union Contracts: “Workers at ‘World of Warcraft’ video game developer Blizzard Entertainment have ratified union contracts after two years of bargaining. The ratification vote means all union-represented Blizzard employees—nearly 1,900 people across all units in the company’s games teams and shared services—will have the same contract language in their respective departments, the union said Wednesday.” Michigan Labor Advocates Keeping Their Eyes on Workforce Reforms: “Thousands of people gathered in Detroit on Labor Day to rally for workers’ rights, a fight labor leaders say is more than a century old. Michigan labor leaders honored that history in Detroit while also looking ahead to a new fight brought on by the digital age. The Michigan AFL-CIO, a coalition of unions, is hoping state and federal lawmakers will act on a number of workforce reforms, including protections against artificial intelligence—a technology that has already affected some Michigan jobs.” ‘Who Is Going to Fight for You?’: AFL-CIO Pres. on Why People Trust Unions OVER Political Parties: “Liz Shuler, President of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) joins The Weekend to discuss President Trump’s low economic approval ratings, and why politicians need to center workers and kitchen table issues to earn voter trust and support.” Celebrating the America Labor Movement on Labor Day: “Liz Shuler, president of the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the U.S., talks about the holiday and the state of workers today.” Labor Is at the Heart of the Black Freedom Struggle: A Conversation with Charles McKinney: “Dr. Charles McKinney is a professor of History and African Studies at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. McKinney has written and lectured widely on social movements in the South, with a focus on the Civil Rights Movement and its role in ongoing struggles in Black communities for social and economic justice. Among his many volunteer and community activities, he was a board member of the Institute for Southern Studies, publisher of Facing South, in the late 1990s.”

College Athletes or Big Bosses?
College Athletes or Big Bosses?
For decades, the bosses who run college sports worked together to stop hundreds of thousands of athletes from getting paid despite the billions of dollars those athletes generated every year.In 2021, those workers finally won the right to compensation—and now it’s a five-alarm fire stretching from the Capitol to the White House.
Congress has responded to college athletes’ newfound power with bills in both the House and the Senate to “save college sports” from the athletes themselves. The Protect College Sports Act would disempower athletes, snuff their compensation and bust their union-organizing efforts. Will you take a moment to make a call to support college athletes and tell your senators to vote NO on the Protect College Sports Act?Dial 844-332-8460 or fill out this form to receive a call and get connected with your senators.Here are a few of the things this bill would do: Allow the NCAA to set the terms and conditions of work from one employer to the next and be shielded from antitrust liability for doing so.Cap athlete compensation and create new restrictions on how athletes can earn money from their own name, image and likeness.Halt progress on gender equity in sports and take away the most effective tool we have to continue to build women’s sports: collective bargaining. Lay down new obstacles to athletes’ efforts to form a union. And while it does provide some benefits for athletes, the bill makes it difficult to collectively bargain and win better terms in the future and would bust athletes’ union-organizing efforts that are already underway. The Protect College Sports Act disempowers athletes and their right to join a union. Will you take a moment to make a call to support college athletes? MAKE A CALLIt’s no wonder that this bill has been endorsed by the employers: the mighty NCAA, the powerful college athletic conferences and some of the universities making the most money off their athletes’ labor.Please stand with college athletes over their bosses’ billion-dollar profits. Call now!Athletes should have as big a seat at the table writing that legislation as the employers—or a much bigger seat. Elected officials should nurture that activity at every turn rather than stifling it—college sports included. Ask your senators to vote NO on the Protect College Sports Act.Thank you for standing with athletes.
