Today, June 9, we celebrate the NLO—founded in 1965 to serve as the labor voice within BCBS. For 61 years, the NLO has brought labor & healthcare together to support working families nationwide. Proud of the work and excited for what’s ahead! NLO's story: bcbs.com/news-and-insights/a…

Closing out #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth with an overlooked issue: workplace hearing loss.
It’s linked to depression, isolation, safety risks—and lower wages.
For union workers, hearing health = mental health.

Today, we honor workers who lost their lives on the job.
#WorkersMemorialDay reminds us that every labor protection was won through sacrifice — and that safety must never be optional.
We stand with unions and working families to remember and recommit to protecting workers.

We are proud to sponsor the Workers’ Memorial Series on @AWFUnionPodcast.
We begin with the 1860 Pemberton Mill Collapse—145 workers lost after safety was sacrificed for profit.
Stay tuned to AWF for more historic moments, with a weekly roundup from us.
In 1860, the Pemberton Mill collapsed and caught fire, trapping workers still inside. 145 died. It was the spark that lit the first workplace safety law in U.S. history.
We start our 10-part #WorkersMemorialDay series here — where the story begins.

📉Lost 25.2% more weight on average by week 40 vs. least-engaged members
