The Year of the Worker

Along with record levels of inequality came an unprecedented and powerful response from working people. Throughout 2019, from nurses and fast-food workers to factory workers and school employees, we demanded better working conditions and our right to a voice through a union. We rallied, protested, marched and even went on strike to fight for good jobs and the better futures our families deserve. 

And those actions resulted in big wins. Together, we’re reshaping our country and demanding a fix for the rigged economy. That’s why we’re celebrating 2019 as the year of the worker. 

Check out some of the top victories working people have won by coming together to demand better this year:
