As we mark our 55th anniversary, we look back to understand our journey and prepare for what lies ahead. Explore our anniversary timeline for inspiration for the fight ahead to build a #GoodJobsEconomy for and with #workers. https://lnkd.in/e6yB7mAh

Strikes are one of the most effective tools #workers can use in their fight for better conditions on the job. State policy can fortify the power of strikes by offering workers #unemployment benefits as they negotiate for good jobs for their families. Want to learn more? Join us Weds, Dec 4 for a #webinar on strategies to build support for unemployment benefits for striking workers on the state level.

Key pro-worker wins of the Biden years including #HeatProtections and #overtime protections are under attack in the courts and face an uncertain future with the new administration. Our new policy brief, released in collaboration with NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, CLJE HLS, Towards Justice, Economic Policy Institute, and the American Economic Liberties Project shows how state policymakers can lock these protections into state law to block these rollbacks. https://lnkd.in/eURrjC8Z

???Labor Secretary Nomination Alert??? Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination as Labor Secretary presents a stark contrast: her past support for the PRO Act and #worker protections is at odds with the #Trump administration’s #Project2025 agenda, which threatens to roll back decades of hard-won labor rights. At NELP, we call on Chavez-DeRemer to uphold the U.S. Department of Labor's mission to protect ALL workers—by expanding overtime protections, raising the minimum wage, and safeguarding #immigrant workers and workplace safety. A good-jobs economy is built on equity, fair wages, and safe conditions for everyone. Anything less prioritizes profit over people. Workers and advocates will not back down from fighting for these principles. ???Read our full statement: https://bit.ly/3V4Iv3Y #LaborSecretary #GoodJobsEconomy

Subcontracted delivery drivers across the U.S. are organizing with #Amazon #Teamsters to demand higher pay and safer jobs at Amazon. But Amazon is using legal loopholes to avoid bargaining with #workers who deliver packages for the company. Learn more about what needs to change so workers can hold Amazon accountable in our new blog, authored by Mimi Goldberg and Daniel Ocampo:?https://lnkd.in/eccKNiNh

When #NativeAmerican #women earn the lowest salaries in the workforce, it perpetuates cycles of poverty, limits opportunities, and hinders economic independence. This pay gap is rooted in systemic injustice, undervaluing the contributions of Native women while ignoring the barriers they face. Fair pay is not just an economic issue—it’s about equity, respect, & addressing the long-standing inequalities that continue to impact Indigenous communities. #NativeWomensEqualPayDay #EquityForNativeWomen
