Labor Caucus

For 100 years, the hardworking men and women at the South Jersey Port have kept our region supplied and shared what we've made with the world.   It was great to be there this week at their annual safety day to celebrate that storied history. Here's to another safe and successful hundred years!

Read the Co-Chairs' Response to the Supreme Court Declining to Review the Illegal Firing of NLRB Member Gwynne Wilcox.

Thank you to UFCW Local 75 for having us at their annual Steward Seminar. The work you do deserves recognition, but more importantly, it deserves fair pay, good benefits, safe working conditions, and the respect every worker has earned. 🙏🏻💙

Enjoyed stopping by the Central Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters Open House earlier this week in Merrillville. Such a great event for students to directly see this world-class facility and the incredible career opportunities available in our region.

As a proud union card-carrying member, I know life is better in a union.

At Dulles Airport, @repsuhas.bsky.social and I joined @protectourcare.org and 32BJ SEIU airport service workers for the “Sick of It! Fix Health Care Now” national bus tour to hear directly from workers about the consequences of our nation’s healthcare system.

At a time when billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are trying to make the American Dream impossible, unions like @ibewinternational.bsky.social are fighting back and standing up for the American worker:

When I started as an organizer, I knew I had found my union home when I stepped into a room with leaders like those gathered by 32BJ SEIU. From food service workers to security officers, the hardworking members of 32BJ SEIU fight for an economy that works for all workers like us with joy!

Congratulations to @speea-ifpte2001.bsky.social on winning higher wages and better benefits for more than 17,000 workers🎉

I am so proud of the home care workers who have taken the historic first step to organize and fight for living wages, dignity, and strong Medicaid home care for all. This vote signals a shift in how care is recognized and supported in our country.

Every worker deserves to be treated with dignity & respect. That's a lesson I learned as an IBEW apprentice, and it's one that guides me in Congress. To my brothers and sisters in @ibewinternational.bsky.social, thank you for having me at this year's Convention, (1/2)

Every worker deserves fair wages. Home care workers are no exception. They provide critical support to seniors & individuals with disabilities every single day and deserve a voice on the job. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/22/n...

A union job can be so much more than a paycheck—something we’ve long known in Pennsylvania 👇

It's #NationalTradesmenDay 🛠️ A huge shoutout to all the incredible trades workers who build and maintain our communities. Thank you for everything you do!

Great meeting @apwu.bsky.social President Jonathan Smith at today’s @laborcaucus.house.gov meeting. Postal workers deliver for Rhode Island, rain or shine. I will always have their backs in Congress and fight to ensure they have the support they need.

We're feeling energized after meeting with @apwu.bsky.social President Smith✉️ Rain or shine, postal workers keep us connected, deliver medication to the elderly, and keep our communities safe. We’ll never stop fighting for their jobs and safety.

That’s why my office joined local leaders in calling for a protected, safe lane for delivery workers on Northern Boulevard in Queens. It’s past time to give the people who keep our city moving safer routes every day they’re on the job.

Today, we remember the lives lost on 9/11 & recognize the bravery of the first responders who answered the call that day. We continue to honor all the workers who lost their lives on the job & their families. We'll never forget their courage, their dedication, & their sacrifice.

Shoutout to @ibewinternational.bsky.social Local 351 ⚡️ Co-Chair @norcross.house.gov joined America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed his union beginnings and how we passed the Faster Labor contracts in the House. awf.labortools.com/listen/u.s.-...

To the men and women - past, present, and future, who built this country and keep it moving forward every day - I proudly stand with all of you, and I thank you. Happy Labor Day!

My family achieved the American Dream because of the Union benefits my Dad got as a member of AFSCME. This Labor Day, join me in honoring the workers who built this country and in the fight to make sure every working family has a fair shot at the American Dream.

Working people built this country, and by coming together to bargain collectively, they built a strong middle class. Happy Labor Day!

This Labor Day, let’s thank the people who make our world run every single day. Today, I’m grateful for what our labor unions and union leaders have done for so many working Americans.  To the laborers of NJ-10, thank you for working hard for our families and communities.

This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers whose dedication keeps our communities and our country moving forward. We must continue pushing for fair wages, strong worker protections, and an economy where every worker has the opportunity to build a better, more secure future.

This #LaborDay, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our communities and keep New Jersey moving every single day. As a proud member of the Labor Caucus, your fight is our fight and we are in this - together. 🤝

¡En la unión está la fuerza!   Labor Day is a reminder that solidarity is our greatest strength. And workers' solidarity will protects us from those looking to rob us of our services, our lands, our health care, our jobs, and our thriving futures.

This #LaborDay, we honor the countless sacrifices and achievements made by the working men, women, and families across America. I pledge my continued support to the American worker and to a workplace that’s transparent, fair, and honest.

On #LaborDay, we honor the legacy of workers who fought for dignity on the job, including the 8-hour workday and safer workplaces. As a former union member, I know we still have more work to do. That’s why I stand with the Congressional Labor Caucus to fight for you.

Happy Labor Day! Today, we recognize the workers whose skill, dedication, and hard work have helped build our communities and strengthen our country. Wishing working families across Illinois and the nation a safe and restful holiday.

Happy Labor Day! When I think about honoring our workers today, I think of my dad, Tony Loureiro, a proud Local 7 union ironworker who spent his life building skylines and bridges across New England. (1/4)

This Labor Day, we honor a simple idea at the heart of the American Dream: hard work should create opportunity and give every family a fair shot at a better future.

Happy Labor Day, #MD03! Today we reflect on the rights we all enjoy – weekends, sick days, and child labor laws – thanks to the stalwart efforts and sacrifices of the labor movement.

As we celebrate the workers who make the #FightingFifth and our country stronger, let’s recognize those forced into labor through incarceration. My Abolition Amendment would #EndTheException in the 13th Amendment that allows slavery as punishment for a crime. It’s past time to end all slavery.

Today we honor workers and unions in MD-08 and across America and rededicate to the fight for fair wages, strong benefits and workplace rights. Let’s stand strong against the oligarchs and authoritarians who want an economy of domination and inequality. Happy Labor Day.

Today we celebrate the victories of the labor movement and the hardworking men and women who are the backbone of America. Happy Labor Day!

This Labor Day, we express our gratitude for the working men and women who drive our nation forward. We celebrate the achievements of the labor movement and the resilience of workers everywhere. Happy Labor Day!

Today, I’m thinking about all the working people in our country who are working so hard but are still having a tough time making ends meet. I’m redoubling my efforts to keep them at the center of everything I do.

Happy Labor Day, SW Ohio! Our country is better because of the rights workers fought for. Today, we celebrate their achievements, and we’ll keep fighting to protect these rights in Congress. 🙏🏼💙

Happy Labor Day, Queens! Strong unions make communities like ours even stronger. This Labor Day, we honor the workers who power our economy, strengthen our communities, and build a better future for every family. (1/2)

This Labor Day, I’m thinking about the workers who show up every day to build, care for, teach, serve, and keep our communities running. Your work matters, and you deserve to be respected, protected, and paid fairly. Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
