  13. December 5, 1955 - The American Federation of Labor, which had historically focused on organizing craft unions, merged with the Congress of Industrial Organizations, an organization of unions largely representing industrial workers, to form the AFL-CIO with a combined membership of nearly 15 million. George Meany was elected its first president.

  15. MAGA chud Asra Nomani and the "Pearl Project" have assembled a detailed spreadsheet of information about the roughly 300 "financial backers" of the "Hate America Protests" today. Includes but not limited to:

    - #AFL / #CIO
    - Teachers unions (#AAUP, #AFT, etc.)

  18. #Unions, #community groups join forces for #LaborDay #protests against #Trump and #billionaires

    Tens of thousands of people expected to hit the streets for a protest over Trump, billionaires

    by Sarah D. Wire, September 1, 2025

    "Labor unions and community activists are gearing up for mass protests on Labor Day hoping to remind Americans of the power of the #WorkingClass at a time when billionaires are playing an outside role in national politics.

    "More than a thousand '#WorkersOverBillionaires' events are planned nationwide in big and small cities on Labor Day and the surrounding days. in an effort to keep the momentum going from other mass demonstrations and keep pressure not only on President #DonaldTrump, but also the billionaires who support or benefit from his administration.

    " 'It’s important to show that there is opposition to the Trump-billionaire agenda in every community big and small, it’s not just cities that are united against what’s happening… it’s all towns, it’s small towns that voted overwhelmingly for Trump,' Saqib Bhatti, executive director of Action Center on Race and the Economy, told USA TODAY. 'It’s very important to show the opposition is there in all these places.'

    "On Aug. 28 the White House did not respond to a request for comment on the protests. Instead, it provided a quote from Vice President JD Vance about Democrats not voting for the GOP tax and spending bill and a quote from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's press briefing about Labor Day.

    " 'President Trump believes that American workers are the heart and soul of our economy and our national identity, which is why he’s championed an agenda that puts them first always,' she said. [BULLSHIT!]

    "The events, which are locally organized and tailored to local concerns, are led by labor organizations, including the #AFLCIO, national #advocacy groups such as #MayDayStrong, #PublicCitizen and #Indivisible and dozens on local advocacy groups. Some began late last week, others will continue throughout the first week of September."

  19. AFL-CIO: 'Alarming escalation' by #Trump

    The #AFLCIO, the US's biggest #labor federation, criticized Trump’s attempted firing of #LisaCook, calling it "an alarming escalation of his attack on #independent federal agencies that working people’s #jobs & livelihoods depend on" in a statement on Tuesday.

    The group represents dozens of labor #unions & over 15 million people.

    #law #economy #FederalReserve #AbuseOfPower

  20. Critics say the proposals would put #workers at greater risk of harm, with #women & members of #minority groups bearing a disproportionate impact.

    “People are at very great risk of dying on the job already,” Rebecca Reindel, the #AFLCIO #union’s occupational #safety & #health director, said. “This is something that is only going to make the problem worse.”

  21. #Protest in #FortWorth #dfw today, #NoKings. According to organizers the #FBI closed airspace around the event, which might explain why the helicopter was hanging pretty far back. There *was* a quadcopter hanging out closer to the event though. Probably had about a thousand people milling around, give or take a couple hundred.

    Saw reps from #CPUSA, #RCA, and #PSL #PartyForSocialismAndLiberation too, as well as #AFLCIO. #socialism #communism #marxism.

  22. #Trump Admin Threatens to Stop #SocialSecurity If #DOGE Can’t Have #PersonalData

    Trump’s interim Social Security chief says he wants to turn off the program if Musk and DOGE can’t access Americans’ most sensitive data

    by Andrew Perez, March 21, 2025

    "Donald Trump’s interim Social Security chief suggested Thursday night he will effectively turn off the agency that manages the essential safety net program for seniors and the disabled, if Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can’t access the non-anonymized sensitive personal information and data of hundreds of millions of Americans, based on a judge’s order.

    "'My anti-fraud team would be DOGE affiliates. My IT staff would be DOGE affiliates,' said #LeeDudek, acting Social Security Administration (#SSA) commissioner, arguing the order was too broad, according to Bloomberg News. 'As it stands, I will follow it exactly and terminate access by all SSA employees to our IT systems,' he said, adding: 'Really, I want to turn it off and let the courts figure out how they want to run a federal agency.'

    "Dudek’s threat to block SSA employees from using the agency’s IT systems — a move that could halt #SocialSecurityPayments — came in response to a judge’s temporary restraining order in a case brought by the #AFLCIO #LaborUnion. The order bars Social Security Administration officials from allowing DOGE, including Musk, and the SSA’s DOGE team to access personally identifiable information. It also directs Musk and DOGE to delete from their possession all non-anonymized personal data, and bars them from having access to SSA computers or code.

    "Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander wrote that the SSA had likely violated administrative and privacy laws when it gave DOGE 'unbridled access to the personal and private data of millions of Americans, including but not limited to Social Security numbers, medical records, mental health records, hospitalization records, drivers’ license numbers, bank and credit card information, tax information, income history, work history, birth and marriage certificates, and home and work addresses.'

    "She added that the 'defendants, with so-called experts on the DOGE Team, never identified or articulated even a single reason for which the DOGE Team needs unlimited access to SSA’s entire record systems, thereby exposing personal, confidential, sensitive, and private information that millions of Americans entrusted to their government.'"
