UAW Endorses Independent Dan Osborn in Nebraska U.S. Senate Race
The UAW has voted to endorse Dan Osborn, an Independent candidate for U.S. Senate from Nebraska.
"Dan Osborn is one of us. A union member who came up through the ranks to fight for economic and social justice for the working class," said UAW President Shawn Fain. "We don't need another lawyer or corporate hack who only cares about the richest Americans in the U.S. Senate, we need independent blue-collar fighters like Dan.Wealth inequality is out of control in our country. The rich continue to take all the profits while the affordability crisis leaves working class people scraping to get by paycheck to paycheck. If we're going to change this system, we need to elect working-class people to the halls of Congress who understand this. We're proud to stand with Dan Osborn and ready to elect him to take on corporate greed and our rigged political system."
"UAW Region 4 is on the front lines of the class war on blue collar America, and Dan Osborn is right there with us," said UAW Region 4 Director Brandon Campbell, whose region covers the state of Nebraska. "Dan is an independent, who is loyal only to the working class. From his leadership in the Kellogg strike to taking on Tyson as they try to devastate the Midwest with another massive plant closure to pad Wall Street's bottom line, Dan has proven he's got the guts and the experience to take corporate America head on, and working Nebraskans are ready to elect him to the U.S. Senate."
"The United Auto Workers helped build this country and ushered in our nation's greatest eras of prosperity for working people," said Dan Osborn. "With their leadership and working class representation in the Senate, we can return to that prosperity and level the playing field for workers once again. I am honored and humbled by their endorsement, and I will always be a fighter for them and all working people in the U.S. Senate."
The UAW will convene for its biannual Community Action Program Conference in Washington DC, February 8-11, where Osborn will address hundreds of UAW members. For more information, visit UAW.org/cap2026.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 [Category: Union] -- The AFL-CIO American Federation of Teachers issued the following news release:
* * *
AAUP's Wolfson and AFT's Weingarten on the Elimination of Tenure at Oklahoma Regional Universities and Community Colleges
*
WASHINGTON- American Association of University Professors President Todd Wolfson and AFT President Randi Weingarten issued the following statement in response to the governor of Oklahoma's signing of Executive Order 2026-07, which immediately eliminates the conferral of academic tenure at the state's public regional universities and community colleges.
"By eliminating tenure at the public regional universities and community colleges that anchor local economies and provide affordable pathways to education, Executive Order 2026-07 strips away core protections for academic freedom and faculty stability. As a result, this action will have far-reaching consequences not only for higher education, but for students across Oklahoma's public colleges, for the families who depend on those institutions, and for the long-term economic health of the state.
"The principal purpose of tenure is to safeguard academic freedom-and American innovation-the foundation of rigorous teaching, independent research and honest inquiry. In service of American society and broad-based opportunity, tenure enables faculty to pursue evidence-based scholarship and teach challenging subjects across the ideological spectrum without fear of political, ideological or economic retaliation. With this order, the state of Oklahoma has sent a clear and deeply troubling message that academic freedom and American innovation are no longer valued.
"This decision must also be understood in a broader national context of democratic backsliding. When political leaders use executive power to weaken independent institutions, silence professional expertise and punish those who produce inconvenient knowledge, democratic norms erode. Public colleges and universities are among the last remaining institutions dedicated to truth-seeking and civic education, and attacks on academic freedom are attacks on democracy itself.
"The removal of these protections will directly undermine educational quality, weaken faculty recruitment and retention, and deprive students of learning environments grounded in intellectual rigor and open inquiry. Over time, it will accelerate brain drain, reduce institutional stability and diminish the public trust that strong colleges and universities help sustain.
"Targeting regional universities and community colleges reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of tenure-as if it were a privilege reserved for a select few rather than an essential working condition for all faculty responsible for teaching and research. It also rests on the false premise that tenured faculty are unaccountable. In reality, tenured professors are already subject to regular evaluation, post-tenure review and professional standards, including the very accountability measures this order claims to advance elsewhere.
"With this decision, Gov. Stitt has made Oklahoma less attractive to highly qualified educators and has weakened the institutions that provide the most accessible and affordable education to its residents-at a real cost to students, communities and the democratic and economic future of the state."

Despite its name, the reintroduced Credit Card Competition Act has little to do with competition or even lowering costs for consumers. In a CUInsight op-ed, America's Credit Unions President/CEO Scott Simpson shares how it would be a financial windfall for only the largest retailers, repeating failed policies from the Durbin Amendment's debit card mandates.
"The government's harmful intervention in the debit card marketprovides a clear cautionary tale for policymakers now eyeing the credit card system. Every day consumers simply cannot afford a repeat of the Durbin experiment," Simpson notes. "No matter what you call it, the Credit Card Competition Act won't deliver competition or savings. It would increase costs, and they land squarely on the shoulders of the people who can least afford them."
New credit card mandates would:
* Harm data privacy and security by allowing retailers to choose cheaper, less secure networks;
* Shrink access to credit with a loss of interchange funds to cover the costs of maintaining a credit card program; and
* Ultimately result in consumers facing less access to credit, higher fees, reduced protection, with no guarantee of any benefits or savings.
America's Credit Unions, leagues, and credit unions successfully kept Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., from a credit card mandate bill to a digital assets bill during a Senate Agriculture Committee markup last week.

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, Feb. 5 [Category: Union] -- National Nurses United issued the following news release:
* * *
Nurses, community allies to highlight connection between ICE violence and Palantir
*
Registered nurses and community allies in Palo Alto, Calif. will hold a vigil on Thursday, Feb. 5 to honor the lives lost to federal immigration agents, including that of Alex Pretti, a fellow RN who was killed while observing immigration forces in Minneapolis, Minn. The vigil and march will take place near Palantir's Palo Alto campus, in order to draw attention to the close cooperation betweenthe tech behemoth and the federal government in its brutal and illegal immigration crackdown, announced National Nurses United.
"Across our profession, nurses have been shaken by the murder of Alex Pretti because he was killed for demonstrating nursing values of care and compassion," said Blaine Walke, RN in the endoscopy unit at HCA Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, Calif. "Justice for Alex Pretti-and all the immigrants and observers harmed and murdered by immigration officers-starts with calling attention to every single person and corporation enabling and profiting from this cruelty. As far as nurses are concerned, Palantir has blood on their hands."
The escalation in intimidation, violence, and lawlessness conducted by ICE and enabled by Palantir comes as the federal government led by the Republican Party and President Trump have cut nearly a trillion dollars in health care funding for Medicaid and Medicare, in part to finance the deportation and detention complex. Meanwhile, hospital CEOs, including Samuel Hazan of HCA-HCA owns Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, Calif.-have been clamoring to hand over patient data to Palantir to automate staffing. For example, HCA worked with Palantir to develop Timpani, an AI-enabled application that nurses report creates unsustainable and faulty schedules that ultimately perpetuate the national short-staffing crisis. Nearby San Mateo Health System may also use Palantir technology in its operations.
Who: Bay Area RNs, immigrant advocates, faith leaders, union and community members with Silicon Valley Rising Action, National Nurses United, and Bay Resistance.
What: ICE KILLS, PALANTIR PROFITS candlelight vigil and community action
When: Thursday, Feb. 5 at 4:30 p.m.
Where: Heritage Park, 300 Homer Avenue, Palo Alto, Calif.
Just this past July, the Department of Defense announced a $10 billion agreement with Palantir to use its technology to share data across federal agencies, enabling unprecedented surveillance power. This followed a $30 million contract awarded to Palantir by the Department of Homeland Security to build an AI-powered system that would identify immigrants for deportation. New reporting from Jan. 2026 confirms that Palantir's surveillance technology powers deadly immigration raids, allowing ICE to target, stalk, and arrest civilians using Medicaid data -even as this administration slashes Medicaid funding.
In addition to working closely with the U.S. government, Palantir has also entered into partnership with Israel's Ministry of Defense to support their "war effort" in Gaza which Israeli human rights organizations, the globe's leading association of genocide scholars, and a United Nations Special Committee, among others, have concluded is a genocide. More than 1,500 health care workers, in addition to tens of thousands of innocent civilians, have been murdered in Gaza since Israeli invaded in October 2023.
Walke, RN, continued, "I became a nurse to help people, to protect them from harm, and to make sure that everyone is treated with dignity. When nurses see injustice, we are compelled - as a matter of our personal and professional responsibility - to point it out. Palantir is empowering one of the biggest threats to our collective safety: armed federal agents on our streets and in our communities. Palantir has no place in our government, in our hospitals, and in a society built on compassion and care."
RNs have been outraged by the presence of ICE and federal agents in their communities and the escalating violence that has led to the killings of Pretti, Renee Nicole Good, Keith Porter, and Silverio Villegas Gonzalez - as well as the 32 people who died in ICE custody in 2025 and the countless families torn apart by the Trump administration's cruel policies. Many detainees died of inadequate medical care. Since October 2025 ICE has stopped paying outside medical providers for detainee care, according to news reports. Like RNs and thousands of concerned Americans, Pretti was protesting ICE's presence in Minnesota, which galvanized tens of thousands of people and businesses to participate in an 'ICE Out' boycott just one day before his murder.
The Feb. 5 vigil with community activists follows dozens of vigils held by National Nurses United members across the country last week in honor of Alex Pretti.
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.

AFGE President: Final rule is a ' direct assault on a professional, nonpartisan, merit-based civil service and the government services the American people rely on every day'
WASHINGTON - At a moment when the American people are watching government up close, and demanding competence, stability, and professionalism, the Officeof Personnel Management's new rule stripping tens of thousands of federal employees of their due process rights and protections pushes the federal workforce in the opposite direction.
The American Federation of Government Employees warned during the public comment period that the rule would open the door to political patronage, chill protected speech and association, and weaken enforceable protections against retaliation, particularly for whistleblowers who disclose waste, fraud, abuse, and threats to public health and safety.
"This rule is a direct assault on a professional, nonpartisan, merit-based civil service and the government services the American people rely on every day," said AFGE National President Everett Kelley. "When people see turmoil and controversy in Washington, they don't ask for more politics in government, they ask for competence and professionalism. OPM is doing the opposite. They're rebranding career public servants as 'policy' employees, silencing whistleblowers, and replacing competent professionals with political flunkies without any neutral, independent protections against politicization and arbitrary abuse of power."
OPM's final rule permits agencies to place employees into Schedule Policy/Career while asserting that jobs remain "career" and filled on a nonpartisan basis. But the practical impact is clear: employees moved into the new schedule can be fired "at will" by political appointees or other overseers with essentially no procedural or appeal safeguards that have long protected the integrity of government operations.
"A professional civil service means nurses and doctors can advocate for patient safety, inspectors can report violations, cybersecurity experts can warn about threats, and benefits specialists can tell the truth about what it takes to deliver services-without worrying they'll be punished for it," Kelley added. "Turning tens or maybe hundreds thousands of these professionals into at-will employees doesn't make government more accountable. It makes it more vulnerable to pressure, retaliation, and political interference, which is exactly the opposite of what the public is asking for right now."
AFGE has successfully challenged this administration's efforts to undermine the civil service and will continue to do so, including through an imminent court challenge to the final rule brought with a coalition of unions and other plaintiffs. We also support bipartisan legislation introduced in the Senate and House, "The Save the Civil Service Act," which would overturn this rule.

Allowing community financial institutions - including credit unions - to serve as authorized Trump Account providers was raised by in the House Financial Services Committee Wednesday. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent addressed the issue as he appeared before the committee to give the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) annual report.
H.R. 1 created tax-deferred Trump Accounts that can be establishedfor children under 18. Rep. John Rose, R-Tenn., asked when credit unions and other community financial institutions could participate.
"Initially there will be one master custodian for the accounts. So initially, these small banks will not be able to participate. Eventually the holders of the accounts will be able to migrate out to designated institutions," Bessent said in response, adding, "I think we are prepared for a flood of signups, and then they will go live on July 5, and the goal is the lowest possible fees on these index funds."
In a letter sent to the committee before the hearing, America's Credit Unions encouraged Treasury to ensure credit unions can be authorized providers and has regularly engaged on the topic since H.R. 1 was enacted. A recent Compliance Blog entry examines the latest guidance and requirements for the accounts.
Bessent is scheduled to give the FSOC report before the Senate Banking Committee today, and America's Credit Unions submitted a similar letter for the hearing's record, including highlighting challenges implementing H.R. 1's auto loan interest deductions, and continued support for the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund.

"This is an outrageouseffort to replace dedicated, expert civil servants with political minions who will push the administration's extreme anti-worker agenda. The public service workers who keep our farmers secure, our airways clear, and our communities safe have earned their jobs through skill and service, not political loyalty. Attacking workers and politicizing public service will harm the communities who depend on a capable federal workforce to keep our country strong. AFSCME members filed a lawsuit challenging this attack more than a year ago when it was attempted by executive order, and now that there is a final rule, we will be heading back to court to challenge this rule. We will not allow this administration to put union members' jobs and public safety at risk just so they can hammer through their billionaire-backed agenda with no accountability."
