John,

In his first 100 days of his second term, President Trump has launched a relentless assault on American workers. According to the Economic Policy Institute, his administration has taken 100 actions in 100 days that undermine wages, workplace safety, and labor rights.¹ These include slashing the minimum wage for federal contractors and gutting agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.^2,3

Some of this administration’s most egregious attacks have been on labor unions. As AFL-CIO President Liz Schuler recently stated:⁴

“They’ve attacked the coalitions that are most equipped to fight back—and they have started with organized labor, because authoritarians always start with organized labor. They came immediately for our federal workforce: cutting funding that Congress appropriated. Firing workers with no process, lying about their performance. Trying to get other workers to quit.

“When our unions fought back, with grievances and lawsuits, what we saw in response was the single biggest act of union-busting in American history. One million federal workers—illegally stripped of their collective bargaining rights. Moving to cancel their union contracts with the stroke of a pen. Recently saying to those who haven’t filed grievances yet: We’ll give you your rights and contracts back if you keep your mouths shut and fall in line.”

These attacks on workers cannot stand. Send a direct message to Congress telling them to fight back and reverse Trump’s anti-worker agenda.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are pushing economic policies that favor the wealthy at the expense of everyday workers. The Trump tax scam primarily benefited corporations and the top 1%—and now they are pushing Congress to double down on those tax breaks, paid for by attacks on basic needs including SNAP and Medicaid—while efforts to raise the federal minimum wage have been blocked.

It's time for Congress to act. We must reverse these harmful policies and implement a pro-worker agenda that restores labor protections, strengthens collective bargaining rights, and ensures safe and fair workplaces for all. Our economy depends on the well-being of its workers.

Join us in calling on Congress to fight for workers and reverse Trump’s anti-worker agenda.

Thank you for all you do,
