Wally Robinson, a 20-year member of @IBEW1547, faced sub-zero temperatures to run the 2024 Iditarod, a 1,000-mile sled dog race.
Being a member of the @IBEW has allowed Wally to raise his family and secure a good retirement. Wally is a prime example of the #UnionDifference! pic.twitter.com/CTOfKdFDPD— Alaska AFL-CIO (@AKAFLCIO) March 26, 2024

Georgia State AFL-CIO:
Georgia’s working families deserve lawmakers who will fight for our right to organize and will advocate for good union jobs with the fair pay and benefits we need. We condemn the passage of SB 362 as a ploy by corporate elite to further their power. Our fight continues. https://t.co/qHWuBkK7N5
