It's time once again to take a look at the ways working people are making progress in the states. Click on any of the links to follow the state federations on X.
California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO:
The entire California Labor Movement came together to lobby legislators on #AB288, and it just passed the Assembly floor with overwhelming, bipartisan support. California must stand up to make sure the right to a union is protected for all workers. pic.twitter.com/raCVUG6Otx

Colorado AFL-CIO:
This month—and every month— we uplift and celebrate every queer worker in the world. Our history as a labor movement is one of queer leadership and allies consistently and proudly confronting oppressive forces with direct action, radical love, and protecting each other. pic.twitter.com/IOu6wVZXaj

Connecticut AFL-CIO:
The State House just passed UI for Striking Workers! The passage of this bill in both chambers with a bipartisan vote marks a critical victory for working people.
Now it's on Gov. Lamont to do the right thing. He can either stand with corporate CEOs or stand with working people. pic.twitter.com/ljo7wbmZVK— Connecticut AFL-CIO (@ConnAFLCIO) May 30, 2025
Illinois AFL-CIO:
Union musicians at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater are working without a contract. These workers are compensated at a rate trailing their counterparts by 33%. If today's bargaining session fails to yield results, they may be left with no choice but to consider a work action. pic.twitter.com/ggJ293rVFl

Massachusetts AFL-CIO:
Veterans, union members, and allies — we’re standing up against the attacks on our jobs, benefits, and the institutions we fought to defend

Minnesota AFL-CIO:
Roughly 110,000 of those losses would come from Medicaid cuts, with an additional 40,000 losing coverage due to cuts to Affordable Care Act funding. https://t.co/Auy8JP0Hvr

Missouri AFL-CIO:
The damage he did in Missouri is real. From cancelled NIH contracts, to defunding rural crop grants, to union busting across the state, the #DOGEDamage cost taxpayers billions of dollars. The most expensive example of waste, fraud & abuse ended up being Elon Musk & his DOGE stunt https://t.co/5iNo75swz2

Nevada State AFL-CIO:
Today Nevada’s 83rd legislative session comes to an end!
The Nevada State AFL-CIO is deeply grateful to our affiliates who testified on pro-labor legislation, those who sponsored our labor luncheons, and those who just came to the office to decompress from the building. pic.twitter.com/xAldigSZ0n— Nevada State AFL-CIO // Pass the #PROAct (@NVAFLCIO) June 2, 2025
New York State AFL-CIO:
Did you know the budget bill passed by the House redistributes dollars from the lowest-income households to the highest-income? The bill is in the Senate now, and it includes an absurd number of wins for the wealthy. Follow along as we keep score. #FederalBudgetAbsurdities pic.twitter.com/SYj8QNpoFF
