STAND UP FOR VETERANS & FEDERAL WORKERS Donald Trump is coming after federal workers and veterans again. On Thursday, March 27, he signed an illegal executive order to strip nearly a million federal employees of their collective bargaining rights using "national security" as a cover. This isn’t about safety. It’s retaliation. AFGE and other federal unions have been winning in court against Trump and his billionaire allies, so now they’re trying to cut off union resources by stopping agency dues withholding. It’s an open attack on our rights, our union, and the workers who keep this country running. AND IT GETS WORSE. A leaked memo from Trump’s administration calls for the VA to cut 83,000 jobs, gutting veteran care and setting the VA up for privatization even though veterans overwhelmingly want their care at the VA. These cuts would roll back staffing levels to 2019, before Congress passed the bipartisan PACT Act, which expanded care eligibility to 700,000 more veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. The math doesn’t lie. Fewer staff and more veterans in need means longer wait times, worse care, and a VA on the brink of collapse. We CANNOT stand by and let this happen. If you’re sick of Trump and his billionaire buddies trying to dismantle our government and attack working people, NOW is the time to take a stand. JOIN US at Spellerberg Park in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, right next to the VA Friday, April 25 3:00 PM Bring your friends, your family, your co-workers, and everyone who cares about protecting veterans, federal workers, and the future of the VA. We will not be silenced. We will not back down.

Akron Worker's Memorial Day Event

Details

This year on Workers Memorial Day, April 28, we will remember workers killed, injured or made ill on the job while we “Fight for Our Lives” and demand “Safe Jobs Now!” Nearly 55 years ago, we won worker safety laws because of the tireless efforts of the labor movement. Since then, unions and allies have fought hard to make that promise a reality—winning protections under the law that have made jobs safer and saved lives. But all of that is in serious danger as elected leaders threaten to cut staff, defund or outright eliminate federal job safety agencies. We will fight for our lives in the halls of government and on the shop floor. We will fight to protect our fundamental right to a safe job. Our nation’s strength depends on safe workplaces and workers who can return home to their families at the end of each shift. We urge you to get involved this Workers Memorial Day by joining us to honor the lives lost and their loved ones.

Hands Off Medicaid Rally

Details

Hands Off Medicaid Rally Medicaid funds the jobs of those who care for our loved ones in hospitals, nursing homes, and in-home care. Our nation is already facing a healthcare staffing crisis – slashing the funding for nursing home workers, home care providers, and hospital workers will make this crisis worse. It also funds the jobs of public service workers who provide social services, benefits services, education services and more. Federal Medicaid dollars are critical to state budgets, funding on average nearly 30% a state's budget, and paying for the services that keep communities running like special education, K-12 services, in-home care for seniors and people with disabilities, and mental health services.

Workers Memorial Day

Details

On April 28, the unions of the AFL-CIO observe Workers Memorial Day to remember those who have suffered and died on the job, and to renew the fight for safe jobs. Nearly 55 years ago, the Occupational Safety and Health Act went into effect, promising every worker the right to a safe job – our fundamental right. The law was won because of the tireless efforts of the labor movement, which organized for safer working conditions and demanded action from the government to protect working people. But all of that is in serious danger as elected leaders threaten to cut staff, defund or outright eliminate federal job safety agencies. The situation is dire. EACH DAY, more than 340 workers are killed and more than 6,000 suffer injury and illness because of dangerous working conditions that are preventable.

**Workers Memorial Day Ceremony** Monday, April 28th at 5:30pm Wyoming State Capitol Steps, Cheyenne For more than 20 years, Wyoming has consistently ranked among the worst states in the nation for workplace fatalities. In 2023 alone, 45 Wyoming workers never made it home—up from 34 the previous year. Join us as we honor those who have lost their lives on the job with a solemn bell ceremony commemorating each individual. Together, we'll demand meaningful action to protect Wyoming workers. **Event Program:** - Opening prayer - Workers' testimonies including: - Marshall Cummings, miner fighting for federal safety regulations in silica mines - Additional Wyoming workers sharing their experiences and concerns - Call to action by Marcie Kindred, Executive Director of the Wyoming State AFL-CIO - Concluding bell ceremony honoring each worker lost - Closing prayer We're tired of holding this memorial year after year with no improvement. Behind every statistic is a Wyomingite whose family is suffering in near silence. The fines for safety violations are insufficient to deter dangerous working conditions, and there's little enforcement of compliance. This Workers Memorial Day, we mourn for the dead and fight for the living. No more lip service or empty condolences—we demand action for safe workplaces in Wyoming!
