TUNE IN: 🇺🇸 State of the Unions
Labor Day is about more than mattress sales—it’s a celebration of working people and a chance to reflect on the power we have when we come together in a union.
We invite you to tune in on Wednesday for AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler’s annual State of the Unions address, and watch live as she discusses what lies ahead for our workers, for our labor movement and for our country.
WHAT: State of the Unions address
WHO: AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler
WHERE: The event will be livestreamed on aflcio.tv, Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube
WHEN: Wednesday, Aug. 27, at 11 a.m. ET
America’s working families and the unions who fight for us are under attack like never before. But in the streets and on the shop floor, in union halls and the halls of Congress, working people are rising up to demand the freedom, fairness and security that we deserve.
Please join us to hear the state of our unions and our workers—where we stand right now, what lies ahead and, most importantly, what unions are doing to fight back.
