Witnessing History:  With the stroke of the pen, alongside more than 10 IBEW members and a bipartisan group of lawmakers at the White House on Nov. 15, President Biden made official one of the biggest infrastructure investments in U.S. history.   Its size and scope ensures that it will rebuild both the country's weakened infrastructure and the middle class.

Among them are: Including bargaining unit status and union affiliation in job announcements Giving unions the opportunity to share information with new...

Former Mine Workers Official Appointed As OSHA Head

After nearly five years without a confirmed leader, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is headed by worker safety advocate Doug Parker.   "Finally after 1,747 days, @OSHA has a champion for workers right as its director," said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler.

Pro-Worker Appointees Gain A Voice on Federal Labor Board

Continuing a trend of filling labor-related posts with experienced pro-worker nominees, President Biden has selected Susan Tsui Grundmann and Kurt Rumsfeld for seats on the Federal Labor Relations Authority.   "Federal workers can breathe a little easier now that President Biden has not only filled these vacancies, but has done so with experienced individuals who understand the importance of the work that our federal workforce does," said Government Employees Director Paul O'Connor.   The FLRA oversees disputes between federal agencies and their employee unions.
