CINCINNATI AFL-CIO LABOR DAY CELEBRATION MOVES TO GREAT AMERICAN BALLPARK | Walsh and Shuler on hand to Co Captain Game
Reds v. Rockies Sunday, September 4
Our traditional Labor Day Picnic on Labor Day, at Coney Island is not taking place this year.

After a great many discussions and considerations about changes that have taken place at Coney making it difficult to accommodate our traditional picnic, we have opted to move our Labor Day Celebration to The Great American Ballpark and attend the Reds/Rockies game, Sunday, September 4, 1:00 PM.

AFL-CIO President, Liz Shuler and US Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh will be on hand to co-captain the game and throw out the first pitch. Both elected and Labor leaders from all of the City, County, State and Country will be on hand to celebrate with us. Labor will own the pregame ceremonies and be celebrated on a nationally televised Baseball game. 

Please contact Nick Geraci at ngeraci@reds.com or by phone at 513.765.7975 to set up a ticket option for your Local.

If your local does not set up a ticket option or you are not affiliated with a local, please visit Reds.com/labor and use the Offer Code: LABOR for your discounted tickets.

Questions? Please contact us here at the Labor Council by email to info@cincinnatiaflcio.org or by phone to 513.421.1846.

We are excited to begin this new Labor Day tradition with all of our Brothers, Sisters, and Friends of Labor! We can't think of a better way to celebrate Labor Day than spending it together watching the Great American Past Time.

See you at the Ballpark September 4th!
This Week With AFL-CIO President, Liz Shuler
Lifting Up Monumental Women

We fight for change because we understand the importance of giving everyone a chance to speak truth to power. That idea is at the heart of both the suffrage movement and the labor movement. And the two have an incredible shared history. 

As president of the AFL-CIO, I want the labor movement to be a place for everyone. For people of all backgrounds and experiences. Because as the suffragists knew, and as we see every day, the more people you bring into your movement, the stronger it is, and the better the future you can create.

Women’s Equality Day is a time for us to celebrate the advancements women have made in American democracy and recommit ourselves to the fight for full equality for all working people. Let’s keep that commitment alive today and every day as we create a labor movement that is open to all working people.
We must make organizing the center of everything we do and look at all our work through an organizing lens.

As we launch new investments in organizing with the Center for Transformational Organizing—the CTO—we will convert the energy of this moment to take our movement into the next century.

With a preliminary goal of organizing 1 million working people over the next 10 years, we are committed as a movement to game-changing growth in union power for working people.
The White House decision to cancel $10,000 of student debt per borrower, $20,000 per Pell Grant recipient and extend the payment pause is a critical step forward that will provide long-overdue relief to the millions of Americans struggling with skyrocketing student loan debt.

Since 1971, the cost of higher education has grown four times as fast as our wages. We know the groups that face the greatest challenges in repaying student loans. 97% of people with student debt are low or middle income. Women, particularly women of color, bear a disproportionate burden.

The labor movement was built on the foundation of creating a pathway to the middle class for everyone, but skyrocketin
g student loan debt has become an insurmountable obstacle to achieving this goal.
The student debt crisis does not disappear after today. The AFL-CIO will continue supporting investments to make higher education more affordable for all and keep fighting to cancel, not collect, student debt to ensure this decision is a start, not an end.
Unions are fighting for and winning better policies and better standards for the workers who keep our country going. The bipartisan infrastructure law, the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act—each of these laws is a tremendous step forward for working people.

The Inflation Reduction Act is going to help us strengthen our middle class, protect our environment, and cut the costs of prescription drugs and health care premiums. This is a huge win for seniors, for working people and for future generations.

And because we—as a labor movement—fought for the bill to include labor standards and domestic content requirements, it’s going to create millions of good-paying, family-supporting union jobs for generations.

Now, it’s our job to make sure people know about our incredible victories.

Secretary-Treasurer Redmond Calls for Boldness and Inclusivity at Pride At Work Convention
On Friday, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond (pictured above, third from left) spoke to delegates at the Pride At Work (P@W) convention in Minneapolis. The labor movement’s constituency group for LGBTQ+ union members honored Redmond at its convention gala for his lifelong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion for all working people.
 
“This is our opportunity to encourage women and young people and workers of color and LGBTQ+ workers to step up and fill leadership roles. Because we know that when we have diverse voices and diverse perspectives at all levels of the labor movement, we all benefit,” Redmond told delegates. “This is our opportunity to show all working people that the labor movement is for them, because the labor movement is for everyone.”
Department of Labor to Promote Unions and Collective Bargaining with New Resource Center
The percentage of America’s workers who want to form a union (52%) is more than four times higher than the percentage of workers who are actually in a union (12%). Working people face many obstacles in their organizing attempts—including some ruthless employers who blatantly
violate labor laws to snuff out their employees’ campaigns. And for others, there’s a lack of understanding about what unions are and what we can achieve through collective bargaining.
 
The Biden administration’s Department of Labor gets it. That’s why the department, under the leadership of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh (LIUNA), is launching a new resource center for unions and collective bargaining. The resource center will serve as a hub of information for what working people can achieve as union members to lift up themselves and their co-workers, strengthen their industries and communities, and protect America’s democracy.
 
Walsh announced this new initiative on Wednesday night during the AFL-CIO’s Labor Day Kickoff webinar, where he said he sees it as his role to help grow union power. The department said it is “in a unique position to house this resource center because of its mission to foster, promote and develop the welfare of workers.” This move shows again why elections matter—and what we can achieve with pro-labor elected officials in office.
Add Your Name: I will protect the freedom to vote
Yesterday was Women’s Equality Day and we’re celebrating the 19th Amendment. But we still have work to do. Add your name to say you support our freedom to vote and will protect voting rights.
Women lead in our unions (including the federation of labor unions, the AFL-CIO), in space and as CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.
 
Women win elections.
 
Women’s Equality Day celebrates the achievements of women’s rights activists and reminds us of the daily struggles that women go through.
 
White women gained the right to vote in 1920 when the 19th Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution.
 
But Black women and Latinas still faced voter suppression tactics like literacy tests and poll taxes. Asian, Native American and Alaska Native women weren’t allowed to be citizens and had no right to vote.
 
Even now, our freedom to vote is under attack in several states. Voter suppression laws are being passed across the country—like limiting early voting and establishing restrictive voter ID regulations.
Inflation Reduction Act Explained
The Inflation Reduction Act is good for working families.
 
We have more details below, but the bottom line is: It will create union jobs, tax the rich, fight climate change and lower health care costs.
 
If you want details on what else is in this historic bill, keep reading ⤵⤵⤵
 
Health Care
  • 13 million people will save an average of $800 per year on health insurance premiums.
  • Prevents premium hikes for people with Affordable Care Act coverage.
Prescription Drugs
  • Medicare can negotiate prescription drug costs, which can lower costs for millions of people.
  • Caps insulin costs at $35/month for Medicare beneficiaries.
Climate Change
  • Tax credits and rebates for working people making cleaner energy choices like electric vehicles and solar panels.
  • Invests billions of dollars in American manufacturing to create hundreds of thousands of good-paying union jobs.
  • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 1 gigaton in 2030.
And don’t forget that we will make sure rich people and large corporations finally pay their fair share of taxes.
 
It’s been a long fight, but we finally did it. To the thousands of working people who came together and delivered this victory: Thank you.

Political Update: From Ohio AFL-CIO Southwest Rep. Julien Johnson
AFGE Kicks Off Labor Canvas For Tim Ryan and Greg Landsman
This past Saturday, AFGE helped kick off Labor 2022 in Cincinnati as they went door-to-door to talk with union members about Labor’s endorsed candidate in Congressional District 1, Greg Landsman.
 
His opponent, Steve Chabot, has a weak record supporting working people, including voting against the bipartisan Infrastructure bill and the Inflation Reduction Act which reduces drug prices for seniors.
 
“Today we got the opportunity to speak to members face to face and educate them about our endorsed candidates and receive voting pledges," said AFGE Local 2031 President Pam Brown said.
AFGE members spent the day talking about the huge legislative wins for working people over the past year and a half, with little help from Chabot. From the American Rescue Plan to the Infrastructure Bill to the Inflation Reduction Act, Chabot is out of touch and putting politics over people. Landsman would give working families in Southwest Ohio a much-needed voice in Congress and keep the momentum going on legislative wins that make a difference for all Ohioans.
 
The AFGE volunteers received a positive reception from local 2031 members. “Our members were excited to engage with us and were very receptive to our candidates and their message,” said AFGE 6th District National Vice President Arnold Scott.

Nan Whaley To Columbus School Board: Resume Negotiations
Columbus teachers have gone on strike for better learning conditions. On July 28, the Columbus school board walked away from the bargaining table and since that time has refused to agree to contract language that will guarantee Columbus students with basics like air conditioning, appropriate class sizes, and full-time art, music, and P.E. teachers in elementary schools.
 
This strike also highlights the failures of state government to ensure public schools are constitutionally funded and every child has access to universal Pre-K, which is something Ohio AFL-CIO endorsed gubernatorial candidate Nan Whaley is committed to achieving as Governor. As Dayton Mayor, Nan led the efforts as voters approved a plan to fund universal, high-quality preschool for every four-year-old in the city. It has been so successful that this summer, it was expanded to include all three-year olds in the city. 
 
"We all know that the most important thing we can do for kids is to get them back in school and learning in person. Students, educators, and administrators should not have to learn or work in unsafe conditions, such as buildings without proper heat or air conditioning," said Nan. "That’s why I’m hopeful that the Columbus School Board will resume negotiations with Columbus Education Association (CEA) and produce a contract that values our students and dignifies work."
 
CEA is committed to bargaining for the safe and welcoming, properly maintained, and fully-resourced public schools Columbus students deserve.
 
Columbus educators and our community are fighting for:
  • Smaller class sizes: Teachers want the ability to focus more attention on each and every student, so that we can give individual help to everyone.
  • Safe buildings: Students deserve to go to school in buildings with air conditioning, good air quality, and in classrooms without leaky ceilings and paint chipping from the walls.
  • Well-Rounded Curriculum: We want full-time Art, Music and P.E. teachers in elementary schools so that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow."
Tim Ryan, Marcy Kaptur Rally In Toledo In Support of Rail Workers With AFL-CIO Transportation Trades Department
Congressman Tim Ryan, Ohio AFL-CIO endorsed candidate for US Senate, joined Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur and hundreds of union members and working people to rally for a fair contract for rail workers. The event was held at the UAW hall, and hosted by several railroad unions to call attention to the ongoing contract negotiations.  
 
The railroad industry’s posture, Ryan said, “is the perfect example of greed and disrespect … ignoring what workers are going through every day.”
 
Respect, Mr. Ryan said, “is on the ballot in the fall — the idea of whether or not we’re going to respect everybody in this country regardless of what your title is. We’re going to make sure that everybody gets a fair shot, everybody has opportunity, every community is plugged in, because we respect each other.”
 
Bill DeCarlo, the national legislative director for the Transportation Communications Union, praised Mr. Ryan as “someone who has always stood by labor’s side,” while Gregory Regan, president of the AFL-CIO’s Transportation Trades Division, told the crowd that labor is well positioned to influence the nation’s political future.
 
“Rail labor is very excited about his campaign and about the potential for having a real voice and flipping the Senate,” Matt Weaver, a track and bridge maintenance worker from Genoa who is the Ohio state legislative director for the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said afterward.
 
If Republicans Take Back Congress, They Are Coming After the NLRB
As reported by Politico: For nearly two years, control of both congressional chambers and the White House cleared the way for Democrats to unilaterally enact more pro-union policies than most had thought possible — and do so with little to no resistance. This fall could change everything.
 
If Republicans were to win back the House in the midterm election — reversing anything they see as tilting the scales toward organized labor will be one of their first orders of business. Already, GOP members are laying the groundwork for intense scrutiny of the Labor Department, the National Labor Relations Board and the administration itself.
 
“I've joked with my colleagues that we will probably be holding two oversight hearings a day, because we're going to be so busy with oversight,” Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, the top Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee, said with a laugh. “We're going to hold the NLRB and DOL accountable.”
 
Foxx confirmed to POLITICO that she is angling to retain her command of the committee's gavel if her party does take the majority.
“That's the track I'm on,” she said. “Right now, I have no opposition, and I have a lot of support for it.” 
 
"There is a tremendous sense of payback” among Republican lawmakers, said attorney Michael Lotito, who represents employers at the law firm Littler. “I mean, I have never seen a sense of payback like this.”
 
It is clear what the stakes are this election and who’s on Labor’s side. All unions are needed to work the Labor 2022 political program to elect our endorsed candidates and continue the progress that Congress and the administration are making to win for workers.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness Day of Action
Wednesday, August 24
The U.S. Department of Education has implemented temporary changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program rules that make it easier for federal student loan borrowers to receive credit for past periods of repayment that would otherwise not qualify for forgiveness. These changes end on Oct. 31, 2022. Millions of government and private, non-profit employees have federal student loans and may now be eligible for loan forgiveness or additional credit toward forgiveness under these time-limited PSLF changes.
 
We need your help to spread the word about PSLF and ensure all those who are eligible have access to this loan forgiveness and know what they need to do to apply.
 
In order to achieve this, we are hosting a White House Public Service Loan Forgiveness Day of Action for Federal/State/Local/Tribal Governments' employees on August 24th and ask you to join us.
 
Sign up here to join us and participate in the upcoming PSLF Day of Action on August 24.

Millions of non-profit and government employees have federal student loans and may now be eligible for loan forgiveness or additional credit through the temporary changes, known as the Limited PSLF Waiver. But they must apply before the deadline. This means some borrowers will need to consolidate and/or submit a PSLF form – the single application used for a review of employment certification, payment counts, and processing of forgiveness – on or before October 31, 2022, to have previously ineligible payments counted. After October 31, 2022, normal PSLF rules will apply. Borrowers can learn more about the temporary changes at www.studentaid.gov/pslfwaiver.
UFCW: Trader Joe’s Workers Deserve a Union
With their organizing campaign in full swing, workers at Trader Joe’s wine shop in the heart of Manhattan learned early on the morning of Aug. 11 that their store was immediately closed for business. Workers there were trying to form a union with the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) and had garnered a large majority of support for the approximately 30 workers who were eligible to join a union. UFCW has slammed Trader Joe’s for its “shameless union busting” and is demanding that the company reopen the store.
 
“It’s totally to stop the union effort before it can begin,” Jonathan Reuning, a union supporter and five-year worker at the wine store, told HuffPost. “My regulars are pissed. It makes us look really bad. It makes [the company] look bad to put their employees out of work like that with no notice.” Click here to tell Trader Joe’s to stop union-busting.

COVID-19 Dashboard
Why the Omicron Offshoot BA.5 is a Big Deal
By Brenda Goodman, CNN
(CNN) Once again, Covid-19 seems to be everywhere. If you feel caught off-guard, you aren't alone.

After the Omicron tidal wave washed over the United States in January and the smaller rise in cases in the spring caused by the BA.2 subvariant, it might have seemed like the coronavirus could be ignored for a while. After all, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated in December that nearly all Americans had been vaccinated or have antibodies from a past infection. Surely all that immunity bought some breathing room.
But suddenly, many people who had recovered from Covid-19 as recently as March or April found themselves exhausted, coughing and staring at two red lines on a rapid test. How could this be happening again -- and so soon? [READ MORE]
