Our Fights

Billionaires and anti-union extremists are trying to rob working people like us of our power and freedoms. They’re attacking our freedom to negotiate strong contracts and damaging the public services our nation depends on. This is just the beginning. 

They are working to make massive cuts to public services to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Gutting Medicaid, Medicare, food assistance and more will blow a hole in local budgets and result in cuts to all public services – from public safety to education, transportation to sanitation. Our jobs and our contracts are on the chopping block.

D.C. Budget Updates

Our D.C. community is under attack. Right now, anti-worker extremists are threatening to rip more than $1 billion of D.C.-taxpayer funds from our budget, all to deliver tax breaks to billionaires. We can’t let that happen.
