The AFL-CIO made a mistake, displaying the Ukrainian flag upside down. So did we. But union haters used that—in bad faith—to slam labor.

When members call their organizations “the union,” instead of “our union” it frames the union as an outside “third party.”

Have you noticed we don’t have workers in America anymore? Instead, we have associates, team members, crew members, and partners.

When Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, it excluded farmworkers, who at the time were primarily African Americans.

Why do unions always support Democrats? It’s a really good question, and one that a lot of union members have asked over the years.
