(CHICAGO) - Following the announcement of a Subject Matter Hearing for the Chicago Delivery Protection Act in the City Council on September 15, Teamsters are demanding that alderwomen and aldermen support the legislation.
Introduced by Alderwoman Julia Ramirez (D-12th Ward), the Chicago Delivery Protection Act would requiredelivery companies operating in city limits to secure licenses for their last-mile delivery facilities and ban subcontracting practices by companies like Amazon. Amazon utilizes a corrupt model where it shifts liability to subcontractors known as Delivery Service Partners (DSPs), which allow it to ignore worker demands for better conditions, engage in illegal union busting, and threaten the safety of residents throughout the city.
"The movement to end Amazon's dangerous DSP model is growing because workers are fed up with this company's lies and mistreatment," said Randy Korgan, Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division. "Amazon Teamsters are leading the fight to hold Amazon accountable. We are calling on Chicago Alderwomen and Aldermen to defend everyday Chicagoans by passing the Delivery Protection Act."
"Amazon has taken advantage of Chicagoans for far too long. Convenience cannot come at the price of worker health and safety, nor the safety of our neighborhoods," said Thomas W. Stiede, President of Teamsters Joint Council 25. "The Delivery Protection Act will preserve jobs while finally making Amazon liable for injuries and accidents that occur."
The legislation in Chicago follows growing support for a similar effort in New York City. The New York City Delivery Protection Act has won supermajority support from the City Council and backing from Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
"Amazon makes all the profit off us but wants none of the responsibility any other employer would have. That isn't just wrong -it's dangerous," said Ash Brooks, an Amazon driver out of the DIL7 facility in Skokie, Illinois. "Amazon sets my routes, watches me as I drive, and confirms my deliveries at the end of each day. We need the law to catch up to the reality of delivering for Amazon, and that's why I support the Delivery Protection Act."

North America's Building Trades Unions Applaud Governor Shapiro's Responsible Approach to Data Center Development
Today, North America's Building Trades Unions (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey issued the following statement:
"Data centers are critical infrastructure that underpin America's digital economy, data security, and national security. NABTU supports the GRID principles outlined by Governor Josh Shapiro and applauds his reasonable,measured approach to responsible data center development. Community benefits, environmental safeguards, energy affordability, and family-sustaining construction careers are essential, and we do not have to choose among them. Governor Shapiro's approach shows that clear standards, transparency, and accountability are the right and responsible way forward to ensure communities benefit, not the blanket moratoriums imposed in other states.
"Responsible development requires responsible actors and firm commitments from the start. It means meaningful community engagement and requiring data centers to invest in the new power generation, grid upgrades, and water infrastructure their projects require without shifting those costs onto working families. It means deploying the latest technology to conserve energy and water, planning early for workforce needs, establishing strong labor standards through project labor agreements, prioritizing local hiring, and utilizing rigorous, multi-year building trades Registered Apprenticeship programs that provide proven pathways to family-sustaining skilled trades careers.
"NABTU and our affiliates look forward to working with Governor Shapiro, other forward-thinking elected officials, and responsible developers to strengthen communities and America's skilled trades workforce and responsibly build the critical infrastructure our nation needs to remain globally competitive."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 [Category: Union] -- The National Federation of Federal Employees issued the following news release:
* * *
Unions Challenge Trump Administration Rules Governing Federal Employee Performance Evaluations and Job Suitability Decisions
*
San Francisco, CA - The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM), along with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), and with the assistance of Democracy Forward,today filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California challenging two new rules issued by the Trump administration overhauling how federal employees are disciplined and how their performance is judged. The unions are represented by Altshuler Berzon LLP, Jonathan Weissglass, and Democracy Forward.
Both rules issued by the Office of Personnel Management scrap decades of legal precedent and run counter to the laws that Congress passed to strengthen a nonpartisan, merit-based civil service.
The first rule being challenged in the lawsuit, the Suitability Rule, lets OPM decide on its own that a civil service employee is "unsuitable" for their position and order them fired, taking that decision away from the agency that actually employs them. A separate rule issued by OPM also strips employees of independent review of these actions and makes OPM, the same agency that fired them, the only avenue for review. OPM wrote the rule, brings the case, and judges its own work. By OPM's own estimate, half of all federal firings will run through this system. The standards are broad and subjective enough to reach political speech, which is an open invitation to fire public servants who speak out, without regard to their value to their agencies and the American people.
The second rule upends decades of how performance is evaluated and opens the door to rating employees on a curve. Instead of measuring public servants against objective standards, as the law requires, the rule leads to ranking them against each other. Large numbers of high performers will be rated lower for no reason other than the curve, and a lower rating makes them easier to discipline and easier to fire. The rule also cancels their right to challenge an unfair rating once current contracts expire, and it drops the requirement that a manager's boss sign off before an employee is branded a poor performer.
The unions' lawsuit challenges both rules under the Administrative Procedure Act as arbitrary, capricious, contrary to law, and beyond the authority Congress gave OPM. The complaint shows these rules were put together haphazardly and are contrary to the Civil Service Reform Act. OPM told the public it was making no changes to employees' appeal rights, when it had already proposed months earlier to take those appeals away from the Merit Systems Protection Board and hand them to itself.
"This is yet another blatant effort by the Trump Administration to make it easier to unjustly discipline and fire dedicated federal workers and diminish the critical public services they provide every day," said NFFE National President Randy Erwin. "NFFE is proud to join our federal union colleagues in this lawsuit to protect the core principle that the civil service should be based on merit - not loyalty to a president or political party. We are confident that OPM's proposed regulations stretch far beyond the agency's authority and the courts will share our view that these rules are simply unlawful."
"Congress built the civil service on a simple principle - that public servants are hired, judged, and fired on merit, not on politics. OPM does not have the authority to write those protections out of the law, and no statute gives it the sweeping power it has claimed here. OPM wants to fire people itself and then review its own decision. That is not accountability, and it is not what Congress wrote," AFGE National President Everett Kelley said. "That is why AFGE is in court today with our fellow federal unions. Together we represent nearly one million of the 2.5 million people who inspect the food supply, care for veterans, and keep this country running. Every one of them deserves to be judged on the work they do."
"Once again this administration is disrespecting public service workers to the detriment of public safety and health," said AFSCME President Patrick Moran. "The federal workers who keep our food supply safe and air travel secure should be able to do their jobs without worrying about political hacks firing them without cause. They deserve to be evaluated based on whether they are doing a good job for our country, not pitted against one another. AFSCME members will fight this transparent attempt to purge even more qualified public service workers from an already depleted civil service."
"These rules proposed by the Trump Administration are yet another illegal continuation of their attacks on federal workers and the apolitical civil service, as they seek to eliminate long-held worker due process rights while implementing a 'fox guarding the henhouse' employee appeal process," said IFPTE President Matt Biggs. "These actions are un-American, which is why IFPTE is proud to join this lawsuit."
"Civil servants are the neighbors who provide essential government services that keep people healthy and safe, and the Trump-Vance administration is doing harm to communities across the country by unlawfully attacking federal employees and trying to make it harder for them to do their important jobs," said Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward. "We are honored to continue our work with this courageous coalition of federal employee unions to defend civil servants and to fight back against this lawless administration."
The lawsuit is attached.

UAW Puts Muscle Behind Push to Unseat Vulnerable Lorain County Commissioner Jeff Riddell in Upcoming General Election
*
Today, outside the Lorain County Commissioner's Offices, UAW Local 2192 members at Job and Family Services announced the launch of a major political operation that the Union will lead to oust vulnerable Commissioner Jeff Riddell in his re-election bid this November.
After defeating his primary opponent by just 18 votes in May, Commissioner Riddell enters the generalelection as a vulnerable incumbent. That creates an opportunity for the UAW's large-scale political operation to take on one of Lorain County's most vocal opponents of JFS workers and their strike.
"We have held the line, and we are not going to watch our county's public services deteriorate while our elected officials refuse to do their jobs," said UAW Local 2192 Bargaining Chairperson Gina Jones. "If the Commissioners elected to run the county will not solve this crisis, then the people of Lorain County will demand change at the ballot box."
The UAW is planning to run the largest voter canvassing program in Lorain County alongside area labor partners, where UAW members will be talking to Republicans, Independents, and Democrats in Lorain County several times a week.
The operation will involve knocking on tens of thousands of doors and making phone calls to UAW families and neighbors - including both other UAW members, and members of union households. Between now and November's Election Day, the Union is planning several statewide "days of action," where hundreds of UAW members from across Ohio will come to Lorain County to knock on doors for the Commissioners' race.
"It's safe to say that we have a plan to knock on every single union door in Lorain County to tell them that Commissioner Jeff Riddell needs to go," said Jones.
While the UAW plans to talk with voters about its endorsed candidates for governor, U.S. Senate, and Congress, it will also dedicate significant resources to the Lorain County commissioner race, including literature, canvassers, digital communications, and more.
"We've done our part offering an olive branch time and time again, as the Commissioners outright refused to even meet," said UAW Region 2B Director David Green. "Meanwhile, the service crisis that JFS workers have been warning about is becoming more visible to everyone because the Commissioners are too stubborn to resolve the retention and staffing crisis in their own workforce."
The UAW's endorsed candidate against Commissioner Jeff Riddell is Carolyn White, an experienced public servant who has already shown a willingness with listening to working-class people in the County, unlike current Commissioners like Riddell and David Moore. While White is a Democrat challenging the Republican Riddell, Lorain County is the only County in Ohio that voted for both Sherrod Brown and Donald Trump in 2024.

NALC President Brian L. Renfroe released the following statement:
Yesterday evening's Supreme Court ruling was the latest development in a broader effort to diminish the credibility of mail-in voting, undermine the dedicated work of the nation's 200,000 active city letter carriers, and suppress Americans' access to the ballot.
States administer elections. Neither the executive branch nor the Postal Servicehas the authority to regulate elections, rewrite election laws, or determine who is eligible to vote by mail. The administration's executive order gives the USPS new responsibilities far outside its standard operations and constitutionally mandated authority.
Instances of mail-in voter fraud are exceedingly rare, and any insinuation that voting by mail is not safe and secure is severely misguided. Letter carriers have securely delivered ballots for decades, and there is no evidence that the existing system requires substantial changes.
We help our democracy work by delivering ballots to tens of millions of Americans so that they can participate in our elections. We deliver those ballots with the same reliability and security with which we deliver more than 360 million pieces of mail and packages every day across the country. Mail-in voting makes elections accessible for seniors, rural residents, working families, military personnel, and Americans with disabilities.
While this process continues to play out in the courts, letter carriers will continue doing what we do best: delivering for Americans. We are proud of our role and responsibility, and we are prepared to get the job done once again this election season.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 [Category: Union] (TNSletter) -- The AFL-CIO AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) issued the following letter with 79 co-signers to the Senate leadership:
* * *
The Honorable John Thune, Majority Leader, United States Senate
The Honorable Charles Schumer, Minority Leader, United States Senate
July 31, 2026
Dear Leader Thune and Leader Schumer: The undersigned 78 civil rights, labor, consumer, community, tech accountability, and other organizations write to express opposition to the inclusion of language authorizing so-called AI InnovationLabs within the CLARITY Act. This language creates regulatory sandboxes that allow otherwise regulated financial firms to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) systems without regulatory supervision, oversight, or enforcement and without the necessary civil rights, consumer, and user protections to prevent harm.
The use of AI in the financial sector has potential benefits to consumers and providers alike. It presents opportunities to reduce costs, improve efficiency, detect and prevent fraud, and increase the access, quality, and choice of financial services and products. However, the benefits will only be realized if there are protections from the risks as well. The use of AI in financial services and products should include requiring the consistent application and enforcement of long-established federal civil rights, consumer protection, investor protection, market integrity, and financial supervision statutes and regulations.
The financial industry has already been deploying AI within the bounds of federal laws and regulations across its business lines including from customer service to automated underwriting to securities trading to risk management. Existing legal and regulatory regimes are designed to protect people and the financial system from predatory practices, market manipulation, and economic instability. There is no need to create regulatory carve outs for companies to deploy AI systems that would otherwise violate federal laws and pose risks to people and the economy. Nor does the use of AI, however trivial, justify broad waivers of consumer and investor protection laws.
The risks of AI are real. AI credit underwriting and decision-making systems tend to amplify existing patterns of discrimination against Black, Latino, Asian American, and Indigenous people; women; and people with disabilities in the approval, pricing, and terms of credit products like student loans, mortgages, and other credit products. AI's involvement in debt collection could make people susceptible to abusive collection tactics. People could see unjust freezes or closures of accounts driven by automated fraud detection AI systems. AI's increasing use in customer relations and emerging risks from agentic AI can leave people at the mercy of chatbots and systems that give incomplete, misleading, or sometimes incorrect information. If financial institutions are granted waivers from laws and regulations for deploying AI in their systems and processes, people impacted by these risks would have little to no path for redress.
The deployment of unregulated AI into financial services products and systems also poses risks to investor protection, market integrity, and financial stability. AI-powered trading could result in market manipulation, harming investors and undermining the fidelity of the markets. Increasingly powerful AI cyberhacking tools can threaten the security of financial firms holdings, exposing customers' funds and personal information to cyberbreaches. Banks deploying AI for risk management models could result in minimizing risks and threats to the safety and soundness of the bank, posing financial stability threats. Further, the concentration of AI firms servicing the financial sector could exacerbate instability and create unstable bubbles and crashes.
The risks and threats of AI in the financial system demonstrate the importance of regulation and oversight of its use. Yet the language within this legislation would enable the financial industry to seek exemptions from these necessary laws and regulations. The threshold to create an AI test project shielded from regulatory oversight is woefully low. Virtually any company that uses AI would be able to request full waivers of civil rights, consumer, and investor protection laws, posing risks to people and the economy.
This language would allow financial firms to experiment on deploying AI for maximizing profits with effective impunity. Customers and the economy would bear the risks and harms, with financial institutions reaping the rewards. The threats and risks are too grave.
We urge Members of Congress to oppose this language and any legislation that includes this language, including in the CLARITY Act. Elected leaders must reject the granting of immunity for unlawful practices or outcomes that would substantially harm people, communities, and the economy.
