I testified before the Senate yesterday about Trump’s billionaire tax cuts in 2017 – and why working people can’t afford another billionaire tax cut in 2025. It’s time for tax policies that make the rich and powerful pay their fair share.


Stevie is an apprentice with @IBEW Local 197 in Bloomington, IL. When Stevie isn't on the job or studying, she is identifying childcare solutions for parents working nontraditional hours and giving back to the community as VP of McClean County Dems. #TradeswomenThursday

Union apprenticeships are all about hands-on learning and real opportunities. They open doors to great careers, good pay, and stronger communities. Let’s celebrate the gold standard in job training! #NationalApprenticeshipWeek


Thousands of students were in Springfield yesterday for the Central Illinois Building Trades Career Day. They met tradespeople from 14 trades, had hands on experiences and several decided they want to join a union when they graduate!

Last week, thousands of public employees descended on the State Capitol to demand lawmakers fix the broken Tier 2 pension system. The energy inside the Capitol was undeniable, as we made our voices heard and delivered a clear message to Springfield: it's time for action.

The Social Security Fairness Act would repeal unfair laws cutting benefits for millions of public sector workers. It's passed the House, now it’s the Senate’s turn.

As workers build our nation’s infrastructure, unions make sure that the workers who make it happen have good jobs. During National Apprenticeship Week, AFL-CIO President @LizShuler is celebrating union apprenticeships and how they will change their lives and their communities.
