Largest federal employee union says lawmakers stand with union members and all federal workers
FOWLERVILLE, Mich. - The American Federation of Government Employees today announced its endorsement of seven incumbents for reelection to Congress from Illinois - U.S. Reps. Jonathan Jackson, Delia Ramirez, Brad Schneider, Bill Foster, Nikki Budzinski, Lauren Underwood, and Eric Sorensen.
AFGEDistrict 7 National Vice President Jason Anderson announced the endorsements ahead of tomorrow's statewide primary. The general election is Nov. 3.
"These members of Congress have stood up for AFGE members and all federal workers time and time again, and we are proud to endorse them for reelection," NVP Anderson said. "At a time when federal departments and agencies have lost hundreds of thousands of dedicated workers - and those who remain are facing unprecedented attacks on their rights and benefits - it's more critical than ever to support the members of Congress who will stand up and fight for us."
Nearly 90,000 federal employees live in Illinois - caring for veterans, supporting the military, and ensuring our food is safe to eat. AFGE is the largest federal employee union in the country, representing more than 800,000 federal and D.C. government workers. AFGE District 7 represents nearly 43,000 members in Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
The endorsed candidates are:
Rep. Jonathan Jackson, 1 st Congressional District
The son of civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., Jackson has spent decades championing civil rights and social reform and uplifting the work of marginalized and underserved communities.
As the national spokesman for the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Jackson has been a powerful force in the fight for justice. He has also emerged as a steadfast advocate for public education, including sponsoring legislation that would prohibit funds appropriated to the Department of Education from being used to reorganize or downsize the department.
Rep. Delia Ramirez, 3 rd Congressional District
The daughter of working-class Guatemalan immigrants, Rep. Ramirez is an accomplished legislator, social service director, community leader, and coalition builder who has dedicated her life and career advocating for working families. She currently is the only Latina serving in Congress from the Midwest.
Ramirez served as a member of the Illinois House of Representatives from 2018 to 2023, where she ascended to the role of majority floor leader and cofounded the Illinois Progressive Caucus. She has been vocal advocate for veterans and for federal workers.
Rep. Brad Schneider, 10 th Congressional District
During his time in Congress, Rep. Schneider has gained a reputation as one of the most bipartisan members in the House and currently chairs the centrist caucus group the New Democrat Coalition.
Schneider is a senior member of the influential Ways and Means Committee, where he is working to improve our health care system and protect Medicare and Social Security. He has earned a 100% voting record on issues critical to AFGE while in Congress.
Rep. Bill Foster, 11 th Congressional District
Rep. Foster is a staunch advocate of workers' rights and has worked during his time in Congress to strengthen and improve federal agencies' outreach to veterans, seniors, and all Americans.
Foster serves on the House Financial Services Committee, where he is the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions, and also serves on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. He was appointed to the House Bipartisan Task Force on Artificial Intelligence in the 118 th Congress.
Rep. Nikki Budzinski, 13 th Congressional District
An Illinois native, Rep. Budzinski has spent her career fighting to raise wages, strengthen and expand union rights, and help restore the American Dream for millions of struggling workers.
Before her election to Congress in 2022, Budzinski spent most of her professional career working for trade unions including the Laborers' International Union of North America, the International Association of Fire Fighters, and United Food and Commercial Workers. She has been ranked as one of the most bipartisan members of the House.
Rep. Lauren Underwood, 14 th Congressional District
Since becoming the youngest Black woman ever elected to Congress when she was first elected in November 2018, Rep. Underwood has proven herself to be a hard worker and an effective leader for her community. She was elected by her peers to a leadership role in the House Democratic Caucus in 2022 and currently serves on the House Appropriations Committee, where she is the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security.
Underwood worked to implement the Affordable Care Act as a federal worker in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services before being elected to Congress, and since then she has made access to high-quality, affordable health care a signature issue. A bill she introduced to lower the cost of health insurance by increasing the tax credit and making permanent was signed into law as part of President Biden's American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
Rep. Eric Sorensen, 17 th Congressional District
A native of Rockford, Ill., Rep. Sorensen is focused on lowering costs for working families, creating sustainable jobs in Central and Northwestern Illinois, and supporting the family farms and rural communities that keep our economy moving forward.
Sorensen advocates for Illinois farmers as a member of the House Agriculture Committee and advocates for the service members and civilian employees working in his district at Rock Island Arsenal and Peoria Air National Guard Base as a member of the House Armed Services Committee.

DETROIT, Michigan, March 14 -- The United Automobile Workers issued the following news on March 13, 2026:

NEW VIDEO: UAW Members at American Axle Lay Out Demands ahead of Contract Expiration
Today, with negotiations starting later this month, UAW Local 2093 members at American Axle & Manufacturing (also known as Dauch Corporation) released a video laying out demands ahead of their contract expiration on May 31.
The video can be accessed and used by the media here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DyLtxQtCSY).
In 2008, workers at American Axle took major concessions to save the facilityfrom closure during the Great Recession. Workers are still making up lost ground from the past 18 years.
"I took a $14 an hour pay cut," states American Axle worker Jason Buchanan in the UAW's video released today. Many long-time workers who were making as much as $29 an hour in 2008 saw their wages cut to $14.50. Today, wages at American Axle currently top out at $22 an hour, after a five-year progression, with inflation-adjusted wages cut in half from their pre-2008 levels.
"On May 31st, our contract expires. And we expect a deal that recognizes our value. Our sacrifice. And our fair share."
As a Tier 1 parts supplier to General Motors, American Axle has generated $2.9 billion in profits since 2022. Over that time, the company's CEO has been paid $47.9 million, with the top five executives receiving nearly $100 million in compensation. Meanwhile, UAW members working at the Three Rivers plant struggle to afford basic needs, with some even forced to sleep in their cars.
"In 2026, it's time to make things right at American Axle," workers explain. "We did what we had to do to save the company. Now it's time for the company to do what they have to do."
Influenced by the success of the UAW's 2023 Stand Up Strike at Ford, GM, and Stellantis, American Axle workers are ready to make up for nearly two decades of lost wages and benefits. Members' demands include: no concessions, fairer wages and profit sharing, better health care, stronger retirement, and job security.
The full transcript from the video released by UAW Local 2093 members at American Axle can be found below:
When autoworkers saved the auto industry in 2008, it wasn't just at the Big Three.
Here at American Axle,
We sacrificed everything.
Wages cut in half.
"I took a $14 an hour pay cut."
Pensions frozen.
"I lost my house."
Hundreds of jobs lost.
"I lost my healthcare."
Plants closed.
And 18 years later
American Axle is doing great.
So why aren't we?
On May 31st, our contract expires.
And we expect a deal that recognizes our value. Our sacrifice. And our fair share.
We supply the axels and parts that make companies like General Motors billions of dollars.
We saved this company when they were on the ropes.
American Axle made $1.6 billion in the past ten years.
The CEO got paid over $100 million dollars.
And we got screwed.
Twenty years ago, American Axle workers were making almost 30 bucks an hour.
Now we've got workers sleeping in their cars.
Our pensions are frozen.
Our profit-sharing is a slap in the face.
In 2026,
It's time to make things right at American Axle
We did what we had to do to save the company.
Now it's time for the company to do what they have to do.
We demand.
A living wage.
We demand.
Job security.
We demand.
To make things right.
We are American Axle.
And we are coming for our fair share.

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, March 13 [Category: Union] -- National Nurses United issued the following news release:

Northern Light EMMC nurses announce strike for safe patient care and RN retention
*
Registered nurses at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC) in Bangor, Maine yesterday delivered a 10-day notice to their employer announcing a one-day strike on Monday, March 23. This is the first strike notice issued by EMMC nurses since 2015. The RNs are protesting management's refusal to address their concerns about safe staffing and nurse retention.
EMMC nurses, who are representedby Maine State Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (MSNA/NNOC), have been bargaining for a new contract since July 2025, with little to no movement on key issues. Their contract expired last September. Yesterday's 10-day strike notice, which lets the hospital make alternative plans for patient care, follows the nurses' strike authorization vote earlier this week.
"Everything we do is to make sure our patients are safe and well taken care of," said Erin Oberson, RN and EMMC negotiating team member. "Everything we are asking for will improve the care of our patients. We have given management several months and every opportunity to come to a reasonable agreement with us. There is still time for them to make a deal."
Who: Registered nurses at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center
What: One-day strike for patient safety and a fair contract
When: Monday, March 23, 7 a.m. to Tuesday, March 24, 6:59 a.m.
Where: Northern Light EMMC, 489 State St., Bangor, Maine
Nurses say that unresolved bargaining issues include ensuring safe nurse-to-patient staffing ratios, protecting nurses' health insurance benefits from potentially exorbitant increases, ensuring all nurses receive same benefits (new nurses are slated to receive fewer benefits), and ending EMMC's pay discrimination against women's health care nurses so their pay scale is on par with all other union nurses. The women's health nurses joined the union in 2024.
"Something has changed at EMMC," said Jessie Lambert, RN and negotiating team member. "For most of the last decade, the administration of EMMC has worked with us every contract cycle to reach a fair and equitable union contract. But this time, they have taken an aggressive posture against us. They have refused to consider even our most common-sense proposals. Nurses' patience is at an end and we're ready to strike. Hopefully, EMMC will get serious at the table about safe staffing and maintaining our health benefits."
On Jan. 16, EMMC nurses held a rally outside the hospital to highlight their contract demands. MSNA/NNOC represents 900 nurses at Northern Light EMMC.
Maine State Nurses Association is part of National Nurses Organizing Committee, representing 4,000 nurses and other caregivers from Portland to Fort Kent. NNOC is an affiliate of National Nurses United, the largest and fastest-growing labor union of registered nurses in the United States with more than 225,000 members nationwide.

National Nurses United (NNU), the largest union of registered nurses in the United States with more than 225,000 members, today announced its endorsement of Bob Brooks for Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District. As a firefighter and dedicated leader of his union, Brooks knows how to take on the billionaires and corporations that have a hold on politicians in D.C. Nurses look forward to working withBrooks to pass Medicare for All, a progressive taxing system, and strong protections for workers to organize and collectively bargain.
"Amid the Trump administration and his Republican-controlled Congress's recklessness, Bob Brooks heard his calling to stand with nurses, our patients, and our communities to build a better country for all of us," said NNU President Mary Turner, RN. "Trump would rather fund wars and billionaire tax cuts than take care of the everyday needs of our patients. We can't continue on this path of destruction. We need leaders like Bob who will bring nurses' values of caring, compassion, and community to Congress during these unprecedented times."
"Frontline workers and first responders always show up for those in need," said Bob Brooks. "As a career firefighter and union leader, having the support of National Nurses United, the largest nurses union in the country, means everything to me. Nurses are there for our loved ones, for the poor and sick, for people struggling through the hardest moments of their lives. I will always have their back in Washington -standing with them every step of the way in the fight for the right to organize, fair wages, and safe working conditions."
NNU supports candidates who are committed to nurses' values, including safe staffing in all hospitals across the country, protecting the rights of workers to organize, and guaranteeing health care to everyone. In a recent Gallup poll, nurses were voted the most trusted profession in the United States for the 24th consecutive year. NNU looks forward to helping elect Brooks and working closely with him in Congress on the important issues that affect registered nurses, our patients, and our communities.
National Nurses United is the largest and fastest-growing union and professional association of registered nurses in the United States with more than 225,000 members nationwide. NNU affiliates include California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, DC Nurses Association, Michigan Nurses Association, Minnesota Nurses Association, and New York State Nurses Association.

WASHINGTON, March 13 [Category: Union] -- The AFL-CIO American Federation of Government Employees issued the following news release:
* * *
Court Orders Restoration of AFGE Veterans Affairs Collective Bargaining Agreement
AFGE Applauds Judge's Decision Ordering VA Secretary Doug Collins to restore AFGE National VA Council contract covering more than 320,000 employees
*
Today, the American Federation of Government Employees National Veterans Affairs Council (AFGE/NVAC), the largest union representing more than 320,000 employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs, celebrates Judge MelissaDuBose's March 13, 2026 decision granting the Union's motion for a preliminary injunction. Judge DuBose ordered the reinstatement of the master collective bargaining agreement between AFGE/NVAC and the VA, as well as all local and mid-term agreements, finding that Secretary Collins and the VA likely violated the First Amendment and the Administrative Procedure Act.
On August 6, 2025, Secretary Collins terminated the AFGE/NVAC collective bargaining agreement. Secretary Collins, however, did not terminate all VA collective bargaining agreements, but only those with unions that had opposed the Trump administration's attacks on VA workers and the veterans they serve. Shortly thereafter, AFGE/NVAC filed a lawsuit in Providence, Rhode Island alleging that Secretary Collins' decision to terminate the collective bargaining agreement was unlawfully based on AFGE and NVAC's protected First Amendment activity, and that the termination further violated the Administrative Procedure Act and requested that the court issue a preliminary injunction reinstating the collective bargaining agreement while the case is litigated.
Judge DuBose's decision rightly found that AFGE/NVAC is likely to succeed on these claims and that the actions of Secretary Collins and the VA are causing irreparable harm to AFGE/NVAC and the employees it represents. In her decision, Judge DuBose found that "the termination of the Master CBA on August 6 seems substantially motivated by the Plaintiffs' history and frequency of vocally opposing changes to labor policies."
NVAC President Mary Jean "MJ" Burke issued the following statement:
"Despite this administration's shameful and hostile attempts to silence VA workers and perpetuate falsehoods that they have 'no union,' the leaders and members of AFGE/NVAC stand together with a clear message: we are still here.
"For decades, AFGE/NVAC has been advocating to strengthen, staff, and fund the VA to ensure it remains the nation's best health care system. The backbone of the VA is not the senior executives at 810 Vermont Avenue but the housekeepers, claims processors, cemetery caretakers, police officers, clinicians, and support staff who show up to work every single day to provide care and services to veterans and their families.
"As unionists, it's our duty to stand up for what's right and hold the VA accountable. We are a nation of laws. Every American knows the importance of free speech, the separation of powers, and the protections guaranteed to us in our nation's Constitution. Each of us owes a debt of gratitude to the veterans and servicemembers who fought to defend these principles.
"We are grateful for today's court decision, but there is still work to do. The Union will not be deterred. Our members will continue carrying out the VA's mission every day in service to those who served."
AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:
"Secretary Collins singled out AFGE and our members for retaliation because we refused to stay silent about cuts and changes at the VA that would harm veterans. His decision to exempt other unions from the President's executive order and then terminate AFGE/NVAC's collective bargaining agreement made the retaliation impossible to deny.
"When the VA signed its contract with AFGE/NVAC, it made a binding commitment to provide AFGE/NVAC-represented nurses, doctors, and other VA staff with the rights and support they need to care for our veterans. That contract cannot be unilaterally torn up. The VA's actions didn't just violate the law. Those same actions put veterans' care at risk by undermining the very people dedicated to serving them.
"Today's ruling holds this administration accountable and makes clear: no one can retaliate against workers for standing up for their rights. We are pleased the court has restored the largest union contract of VA employees and protected both the federal workforce and the veterans who depend on them."
AFGE/NVAC will continue to closely monitor the situation to ensure that the VA complies with today's decision.

AFT to Urge Members to 'Shop Local' If Target Fails to Take Stand on ICE

AFT to Urge Members to 'Shop Local' If Target Fails to Take Stand on ICE

WASHINGTON- AFT President Randi Weingarten sent a new letter today to Target CEO Michael Fiddelke to demand the big-box retailer publicly call out Immigration and Customs Enforcement's continued abuses and long-term harm to the Twin Cities-or the union will draft an official resolution urging its 1.8 million members to "shop local" and buy billions of dollars' worth of annual school supplies

WASHINGTON, March 13 [Category: Union] -- The AFL-CIO American Federation of Teachers issued the following news release:
* * *
AFT to Urge Members to 'Shop Local' If Target Fails to Take Stand on ICE
*
WASHINGTON- AFT President Randi Weingarten sent a new letter today to Target CEO Michael Fiddelke to demand the big-box retailer publicly call out Immigration and Customs Enforcement's continued abuses and long-term harm to the Twin Cities-or the union will draft an official resolution urging its 1.8 million members to "shop local" and buy billions of dollars' worth of annual school supplieselsewhere.
Weingarten's letter comes after Target finally recommitted to diversity on Wednesday following months of pressure from the Target Fast movement. The activists won a new commitment to support Black entrepreneurs, historically Black colleges and universities, and internal programs that support equity and inclusion. But there remains more to be done. At a press conference announcing the win, former Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner acknowledged that ICE raids continue to devastate Minneapolis and that the AFT's and the city's fight with the company isn't over.
"Target has taken a step in the right direction by recommitting to promises made on investing in Black-owned businesses and communities," said Weingarten. "That matters. That is progress, and we acknowledge it. But there is more to be done." In her letter, Weingarten says that if there is no movement on ICE, the AFT will be educating teachers "about Target's unwillingness to meet the demands of the Twin Cities community with respect to ICE" and "about alternative retailers who are more attuned to their consumers and communities."
Weingarten first wrote to Target last month in an attempt to kickstart a dialogue on ICE's abuses, but the company failed to meaningfully act. The AFT's 1.8 million members individually spend hundreds of dollars on school supplies at Target each year and directly own nearly 7 million shares in the firm through their public pension funds, with billions more in indirect exposure.
The new letter keeps up the pressure on Target after it posted another quarter of falling revenue and customer traffic in its first set of results released since Fiddelke took the reins of the company last month. Various reports suggest that boycotts have cost the beleaguered big-box retailer more than $12 billion in market value.
Weingarten writes that the AFT will also take its concerns to the AFL-CIO convention to be held in Target's home state of Minnesota in June. The AFT is the AFL-CIO's second-largest affiliate, and delegates representing 15 million workers are set to debate the firm's civil rights track record. Weingarten notes that every Target board director is up for election at its annual general meeting this spring. The AFT "will be involved in efforts to protect long-term shareholder value at Target. We are aware that some key investors and fiduciaries of large plans have expressed similar concerns."
The AFT sent this second letter because Target's leadership needs to understand that there are real consequences for abandoning the people who built its goodwill. Target's silence is not neutral. It is a choice, and it is causing lasting damage to communities-which is why its brand is suffering.
"I hope we can find a better path forward, for our educators and communities, and ultimately for the long-term value of Target and its shareholders," Weingarten concludes.
