Dolores Huerta was an icon who embodied the fighting spirit of workers and our unions. She'll forever be an example of the best of our movement.
We send our condolences to her family and the millions of workers she inspired. Rest in power, Sister Huerta. aflcio.org/press/releases/af…
One of the hardest days I've had in a long time. #DoloresHuerta was among the greatest organizers to ever live & the spirit of our movement. For as long as I can remember, she's been my inspiration. It was the honor of a lifetime to get to know her & work with her #SiSePuede

Republican @DavidFlippoNV reported a maxxed out donation from a prominent Nevadan on his most recent campaign finance report for #NV02
The problem? She died in 2024.
Just the latest scandal to hit Fraudster Flippo’s campaign ⬇️

The AFL-CIO ad targeting Nevada's ruby red 2nd Congressional District seat is live.

Union veterans tell it like it is. WTF, indeed @northernnvlabor @NVAFLCIO #NV2 youtube.com/shorts/m_XAwWpwU…

I was in Reno last week talking to union veterans about Flippo. Angry doesn't even begin to describe how they're feeling about his military service lies. "If we can't trust him to be truthful about his service, how can we trust him on anything," one said. Exactly #NV2 @NVAFLCIO
OPINION by John L. Smith: I went to Gardnerville hoping for a robust debate between David Flippo and Teresa Benitez-Thompson. His no-show suggests he’s either complacent or cowardly.

It’s worrying that safety researchers at OpenAI were fired last week. Tech workers should be able to report concerns without fear of retaliation. Big Tech CEOs can’t regulate themselves. That’s why we need whistleblower protections and a real voice for tech workers.

@MaryPeltola will put Alaska workers first by backing the projects and labor standards that create UA jobs, bring down costs, and protect fair wages and hard-earned benefits. That’s why the UA is backing her for U.S. Senate. #AKSen

Yesterday in 1965, my father spoke to the Illinois AFL-CIO about something I believe just as deeply: the labor movement and the civil rights movement rise or fall together. Fair wages and the freedom to vote were never separate fights. @AFLCIO
There's more enthusiasm among union voters to cast ballots this year than I've ever seen. With lots of tight races across the country, the union vote is poised to make a huge impact...everywhere

“In the labor movement we fight fear with passion, we fight hate with love ❤️ and we fight division with unity”
“We’re going to work together, we’re going to fight together and we’re to win together in November!”
@Jimmy_iupat joined the @DropkickMurphys on stage at the @pttpfest to talk about the power of our solidarity. America’s unions are in this fight. ✊

For what is likely the first time ever, the national AFL-CIO is targeting Nevada's ruby red 2nd Congressional District seat.
Here's a look into the six-figure ad the union is creating, and why veterans are upset:

A @TheNVIndy exclusive: AFL-CIO playing in a Trump-plus-14 district by gathering veterans to go after GOP nominee @DavidFlippoNV for exaggerating his valor in combat. Campaign's explanation is lame.
This district is the GOP canary in the coal mine for Nov.

You know Flippo is a bad choice when the PERSON HE’S TRYING TO REPLACE WON’T BACK HIM BECAUSE HE’S A FRAUD!

BREAKING: @DavidFlippoNV LIED about his military record, falsely claiming to have earned a Bronze Star for valor.
Military honors experts say Flippo's lie “denigrates everybody’s service" and that Flippo "apparently missed the training on officership and integrity.” #NV02
Exclusive to @washingtonpost: David Flippo, a Republican congressional candidate in Nevada, inflated his military record multiple times in recent years by claiming he received a Bronze Star “for valor” during his two-decade Air Force career.
