On Monday, hundreds of Oakland city workers represented by IFPTE Local 21 shut down the City Council meeting to demand a fair contract that retains qualified staff and protects public services.
We stand in solidarity with our @IFPTE21 members and call on Acting City Administrator Betsy Lake to respect the work they do, fill vacant jobs, and invest in Oakland!

President @LorenaSGonzalez: "Catastrophic job loss and deskilling are a political choice. Working people deserve elected officials who will fight to save jobs, regulate AI, and tax the uber-wealthy." 🔥
Today, @CaliforniaLabor President @LorenaSGonzalez spoke at the @AFLCIO Convention with labor leaders @IAM_Union President @IAMBrianBryant, @NABTU President @SeanMcGarvey_, @TTDAFLCIO President @gregan11, and the NYC Deputy Mayor @JulieSuLabor about creating the economic future WE want to build, not the future AI billionaires are jamming down our throats.
We don’t have to accept the future that big tech billionaires want to jam down our throats. Catastrophic job loss & deskilling are a political choice.
Working people deserve elected officials who will fight to save jobs, regulate AI and tax the uber-wealthy.

Working people CANNOT AFFORD a trillionaire.
Billionaires are obsessed with growing their already obscene amounts of wealth, at the expense of our jobs and our safety.
Organizing stronger unions and building real power for working people is the only way forward.
Because greedy CEOs and AI billionaires will never withstand the collective power of our solidarity.

VICTORY!🎉🎉🎉
RNs at Orange County Global Medical Center voted 91% YES to join CNA. Together, we're growing our movement and proving that when nurses stand united, we win for our patients, our profession, and each other.

AI billionaires are spending huge amounts of cash in the 2026 midterm elections to try and get their puppet candidates elected. Don't believe us? Check out the Tech Influence Watch database below by journalist Molly White and see for yourself.
In the primary election, our members showed that we can beat Big Tech and their puppets because we have power in numbers! Let's keep our momentum going and stay ready to mobilize and elect strong, pro-worker candidates in November!

We need serious transparency at a time when major layoffs due to AI are in the news every single day.
But if employers are going to try, they owe their workers the dignity at least of advance notice that they are being replaced by AI.
#SB951, the AI Job Killer Notice, ensures workers, lawmakers, and the public know the extent to which corporations are trying to displace workers due to AI. Thank you @SenEloiseReyes for introducing this bill as an important step to holding these companies accountable!

When it comes to making the decision to discipline or terminate an employee, one of the most difficult and sensitive decisions an employer can make, the final decision should be made by a human being, not a robot.
#SB947 prevents employers from outsourcing that decision without human oversight. Thank you @SenMcNerney for introducing and championing this bill!

Study after study has shown the damage that AI has done in California higher education. Students learn best from HUMAN teachers!
Thank you @SenCervantes for authoring #SB928 to ensure that PEOPLE, NOT ROBOTS are teaching in California's college and university classrooms!

Thanks to the efforts of @californialabor, AI billionaires trying to buy their way into Sacramento and Washington, D.C. had a bad night last night. California voters resoundingly voted for pro-worker candidates who will fight for strong AI guardrails! Now on to the November General Election!
