UAW Members Call on Trump Administration to Save Iconic Ohio Plant from Being Offshored to China
The UAW is calling on the Trump Administration to intervene in the closure of an iconic brass instrument plant which is facing an imminent threat of offshoring to China, destroying 150 good union jobs in Ohio.
In a letter to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, UAW President Shawn Fain, UAW Region 2B Director David Green, and UAW Local 2359 President Robert Hines call on the Administration to include brassmusical instruments under the broader Section 232 tariffs on copper imports.
"Workers in Eastlake, Ohio have produced brass musical instruments for over 60 years. They have done their jobs, producing world-class products, winning a union contract with family-sustaining wages, and building the company into America's largest in the sector. Now, it is time for the federal government to do its job, by protecting our jobs, signaling to blue-collar workers across the country that their jobs will be safe too, and penalizing companies for attempting to offshore our jobs and decimate our communities," write the UAW leaders. "The Commerce Department has the power to immediately halt the offshoring of jobs at Conn-Selmer by making the company, and its billionaire owner, pay a price for leaving Eastlake behind. Brass musical instruments must be included as derivate products within the scope of the section 232 tariffs on copper imports."
In January - on what was supposed to be day one of the latest contract negotiations between Conn-Selmer and UAW Local 2359 members - the last, USA-made brass instrument brand, informed workers that it is shutting down its Ohio facility and offshoring almost all its Eastlake operations overseas to China.
Decades of an Ohio mainstay and 150 good, union jobs suddenly became on the chopping block because billionaire hedge fund owner John Paulson decided to lead with corporate greed over preserving an American institution - and American manufacturing.

Teamsters Condemn Abigail Spanberger's Veto of Collective Bargaining Bill
*
(WASHINGTON) - The Teamsters Union strongly condemns Governor Abigail Spanberger for vetoing legislation that would have established and protected collective bargaining rights for public sector workers across the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The legislation would have given state and local employees across Virginia the ability to collectively negotiate better wages, benefits, and working conditions.Gov. Spanberger's veto is an upsetting setback for thousands of workers at a time when Virginia families are living with persistent inflation and rising costs for food, housing, and other basic necessities.
"Working people deserve representatives who will stand with them as they fight for a better future," said Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien. "The Teamsters will work with any Democrat, Republican, or Independent who is serious about protecting workers' rights and defending collective bargaining. Unfortunately, Gov. Spanberger's depressing actions in Virginia are an urgent reminder that unions and engaged citizens who care about labor rights must collectively demand more of our elected officials. We must never assume that lawmakers affiliated with any one political party are committed to standing with workers. We must build bipartisan coalitions that actually want to get something done for working Americans and have the backbone to do it."
Throughout the legislative process, members of the Virginia General Assembly worked closely with the Teamsters and other unions to move this bill forward and defend the rights of public employees. The Teamsters thank the Virginia lawmakers who stood with workers, supported this important legislation, and recognized that collective bargaining is not a political bargaining chip, but a fundamental right that helps working families build stronger lives.
The Teamsters will continue the fight to secure collective bargaining rights for every public sector worker across Virginia.

Nurses will be marching on the California Hospital Association, the lobbying organization for the state's hospital industry, in opposition to its ballot measure to block health care unions from participating in the political process. Nurses will then meet and share their experiences with legislators to urge them to pass our sponsored bills.

AFGE says Boafo is a proven leader and dedicated public servant
WASHINGTON - The American Federation of Government Employees today announced its endorsement of Adrian Boafo for election to the U.S. House representing Maryland's Fifth Congressional District in the 2026 elections. The statewide primary is June 23, and the general election is Nov. 3.
The son of immigrantswho moved from Ghana, West Africa, to Bowie, Md., in search of a better future, Boafo credits his parents' sacrifices with instilling in him the importance of faith, determination, and fighting for what's right.
"Adrian Boafo is a proven leader and dedicated public servant who is committed to improving the lives of those he represents - whether he's serving as a Bowie council member and mayor pro tempore, in the Maryland House of Delegates, or hopefully as the next member of Congress representing Maryland's 5th Congressional District," AFGE National President Everett Kelley said.
"Boafo served alongside the district's current representative, retiring Rep. Steny Hoyer, as his campaign manager for many years and has earned Rep. Hoyer's endorsement to fill his seat. AFGE proudly endorses Adrian Boafo for election to Congress, and we look forward to working with him to improve the lives of working families in Maryland and across the country when he's elected this November."
Boafo also has earned the endorsement of Maryland Gov Wes Moore, Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, and more than 30 other elected officials. He is part of a new generation of leaders that is ready to deliver for working families.
"It was the federal workers in my community growing up that first inspired me to become a public servant," Boafo said. "Their selflessness and commitment to improving the lives of Marylanders and folks across the country is an inspiration. I'm so incredibly honored to have the backing of AFGE, a union that has fought to strengthen protections for the thousands of workers in our district. As Trump's assault on our democracy and our government continues, I'm honored to stand shoulder to shoulder with AFGE to fight for our values and protect our federal workers here in the 5th and beyond."
Once elected, Boafo has pledged to cosponsor the Protect America's Workforce Act, which would overturn President Trump's executive orders stripping most federal employees of their collective bargaining rights.
He also has pledged to cosponsor the Shutdown Fairness Act, which would guarantee federal workers receive pay during government shutdowns. While serving as a Maryland state delegate, Boafo cosponsored legislation to provide no-interest loans to support federal workers and their families impacted by the Trump administration's layoffs, firings, and federal funding cuts, and he supported state funding for free transit and energy assistance programs to help federal workers weather government shutdowns and economic uncertainty.
He would also join the newly created bipartisan and bicameral Federal Workforce Caucus, which is committed to protecting federal workers and strengthening our merit-based civil service.
AFGE is the largest federal employee union in the country, representing more than 820,000 federal and D.C. government workers in all functions of government. More than 225,000 federal workers live in Maryland, and about 53,500 live in the 5 th Congressional District - which has the highest concentration of federal workers of any district in the country.

Farm Workers Regret Ruling On Trump Administration's Wage Cut
*
Fresno, Calif. -On Thursday, May 14, a U.S. federal district court denied farm workers' motion for a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration's illegal wage cut rule, which drastically cuts wages for H-2A workers and undercuts U.S. farm worker wages. This decision means the Trump administration's devastating wage cut rule can continue to be in effect while the United Farm Workers and UFW Foundation lawsuitchallenging the rule's legality continues. The Trump administration's wage cut rule is estimated to transfer over 4 billion dollars in wages from workers to employers annually.
The UFW, UFW Foundation, and 18 individual farm workers sued the Trump administration in November 2025, arguing that the Trump administration's wage cut rule is a violation of the federal statute governing the H-2A agricultural guest worker program, which is required to prevent an adverse effect on the jobs and wages of local workers. The court's denial of the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction was based on a narrow, technical issue and deferred ruling on the merits or legality of the Trump administration's wage cut rule.This lawsuit will continue and we believe the wage cut will be declared unlawful.
" The Trump wage cuts will mean billions of dollars in lost wages for some of the hardest working and worst paid workers in America, " said Teresa Romero, President of the United Farm Workers. " Lowering the wages of the H-2A guest worker program to undercut the wages of American farm workers is plainly illegal. We will continue to demonstrate this in court and look forward to a final ruling. We are confident farm workers and the law will prevail.In the meantime, every day the Trump wage cut is in effect makes it harder for farm workers to make ends meet. We will organize to overcome this sad reality as we always do -in the fields, in the legislatures, and in the courts. Farm workers will always fight for the wages we deserve."
"The UFW Foundation is disappointed that the Trump administration's wage cuts, which drastically lower farm worker pay, remain in effect for now," said Erica Lomeli Corcoran, Chief Executive Officer of the UFW Foundation. "At a time when farm workers are already amongst the lowest paid and most vulnerable U.S. workers, these wage cuts further enrich agricultural interests at their expense. We will keep working towards a better tomorrow for all workers and look forward to seeing this unjust wage cut defeated and reversed."

(DES MOINES, Iowa) - This week, nurses at UnityPoint Health in Des Moines, Iowa, met with State Senator Zach Wahls (D-43 rd District), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and current Iowa State Auditor and gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand to discuss issues facing nurses in Iowa including union-busting, corporategreed, unsafe staffing, and rural community access to health care. These roundtable discussions come after nurses voted to organize with Teamsters Local 90 but have yet to have their election certified due to objections from their employer.
"These workers have fought too hard to be ignored," said Alano De La Rosa, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 90. "This week's roundtable discussions dove into the very reasons nurses at UnityPoint voted to organize in the first place -safe staffing, fair pay, and better working conditions that both nurses and patients deserve. We will not let time break us and we appreciate Zach Wahls, Elizabeth Warren, and Rob Sand for standing with nurses and demanding the justice they deserve."
In 2025, nurses at UnityPoint Health joined the Teamsters in order to fight for safety and fair treatment for both patients and staff, defeating a multimillion-dollar union-busting campaign.
"UnityPoint Health continues to prioritize financial gains over investments in safe staffing, worker retention, and patient care," said Deb Henning, a registered nurse at UnityPoint Health. "We have been exploited for our compassion and dedication to our patients for long enough. Meeting with leaders to discuss issues Iowa nurses face is important but what's more important is for UnityPoint to do the right thing. Stop the delays, recognize our union, and start negotiating our contract."
Teamsters Local 90 represents workers in a wide variety of industries throughout Iowa. For more information, go to teamsterslocal90.org.

Actors' Equity Association Announces Nominees for 2026 ACCA Awards
*
New York - Actors' Equity Association's Advisory Committee on Chorus Affairs (ACCA) has announced the nominees for this season's ACCA Award for Outstanding Broadway Chorus, honoring the chorus performers in a Broadway show. These four productions are:
* Cats: The Jellicle Ball
* Chess
* Ragtime
* Schmigadoon!
"While the ACCA Award is specific to Broadway, the eligible productions this season areindicative of the amazing work Equity members on chorus contracts are performing on stages across the country," said Al Bundonis, 2nd vice president of Actors' Equity Association and chair of the ACCA. "These stories simply cannot be told without the Chorus, and that contribution needs to be recognized. Equity and the ACCA will always spotlight the artistry, athleticism and passion that chorus members deliver on a daily basis. We hope that the Tonys and other theatre awards across the country will join us in honoring these gifted professionals."
Presented by Equity's Advisory Committee on Chorus Affairs, the ACCA Award is the only industry accolade of its kind to honor the distinctive talents and contributions made by the original chorus members of a Broadway musical.
In reviewing the chorus of each Broadway musical that opened in the 2025-2026 theatrical season, ACCA considered the chorus requirements made by each production's director, choreographer and musical director; the caliber of technical skill used to execute those requirements; and the unique contributions made by the entire chorus to the overall production. Nominators for the ACCA Award are the members of Equity's national council who also serve on the ACCA; all ACCA members, all Equity Chorus councilors and past recipients of Equity's Legacy Robe will cast ballots to determine the recipient of this year's award. All voters must see all four of the ACCA-nominated musicals this season. The award will be presented alongside this year's Actors' Equity Foundation Awards at a ceremony on June 22 in New York City.
Previous recipients of the ACCA award are the original chorus members of Legally Blonde (2007), In the Heights (2008), West Side Story (2009), Fela! (2010), The Scottsboro Boys (2011), Newsies (2012), Pippin (2013), Beautiful - The Carole King Musical (2014), An American in Paris (2015), Shuffle Along, Or The Making Of The Musical Sensation Of 1921 And All That Followed (2016), Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 (2017), Once on This Island (2018), Hadestown (2019), New York, New York (2023), The Heart of Rock and Roll (2024) and Buena Vista Social Club (2025). In 2022, the ACCA issued two special awards, one to all the Broadway choruses working on the 2019-2020 season disrupted by the pandemic, and one for the choruses of the 2021-2022 season that brought Broadway back.
ACTORS' EQUITY ASSOCIATION, founded in 1913, is the U.S. labor union that represents more than 51,000 professional actors and stage managers. Equity endeavors to advance the careers of its members by negotiating wages, improving working conditions and providing a wide range of benefits (health and pension included).

AFSCME's Saunders: Gov. Spanberger has broken the promise she made to Virginia
*
Spanberger vetoes collective bargaining legislation that would have given half a million public service workers a strong voice to fight for fair pay, safe working conditions and better public services for all Virginians.
WASHINGTON -AFSCME President Lee Saunders released the following statement after Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger vetoed Senate Bill378 and House Bill 1263, legislation that would have granted collective bargaining freedoms to state government employees and enhanced bargaining rights for employees of local governments in Virginia:
"For too long, anti-worker extremists have sidelined working people while starving the public services Virginia families rely on, earning the state a reputation as one of the most anti-worker in the country. Governor Spanberger campaigned on the promise to end this historic injustice. But she has broken that promise by vetoing legislation that would have finally granted most state and local workers the freedom to collectively bargain. The landmark collective bargaining legislation, passed by pro-worker champions in the General Assembly, would have empowered more than half a million public service workers with the freedom to negotiate and to strengthen the public services that communities across the commonwealth depend on.
"While the governor has broken her word, AFSCME members are deeply grateful to the bill's sponsors, and the leadership of both chambers, who kept theirs. Their commitment to working people stands in stark contrast to the governor and will not be forgotten. Governor Spanberger made a choice today, and working people will remember it. AFSCME members will continue fighting to ensure every public service worker in Virginia has a real voice on the job. This fight is far from over."
AFSCME's 1.4 million members provide the vital services that make America happen. With members in communities across the nation, serving in hundreds of different occupations -from nurses to corrections officers, child care providers to sanitation workers -AFSCME advocates for fairness in the workplace, excellence in public services and freedom and opportunity for all working families
