This is Texas under HB 2127.
Banning required rest breaks for construction workers in the Texas heat is deadly.
Our hearts are with the family of this worker.

We’re the state labor federation representing 250,000+ union members. We fight for all Texas workers!
- Parents of Uvalde school shooting victims march Dia de Los Muertos altar from TX Capitol on way to Governor’s Mansion to demand reform of gun laws. Attendees, determined to demand action, carry marigolds in heartbreaking tribute. #1u
00:00 - The Texas labor movement stands in complete solidarity with our trans siblings. We reject the onslaught of hateful, cowardly policies coming out of the legislature this session. Thank you for fighting for equality for ALL Texans @TFN @EqualityTexas @ACLUTx.
00:00 - Congrats to @BetoORourke's 129 staffers that've ratified a union contract through @OPEIU_277 – the first time a statewide campaign in Texas has run with a union contract. Staffers laboring long hours in a high-pressure political environment should have a voice in the workplace.
- On 2nd morning of his campaign for Governor, @BetoORourke stood with #labor, pledging partnership with @TXAFLCIO & union activists in San Antonio not for us, not for him, but for all Texas. That partnership extends to all who want a better TX. #1u
- BREAKING: HB 2127 has been declared unconstitutional. This is a HUGE win for the working people of Texas, local govs, and communities across our state. While we expect an appeal, it remains clear this law is an unacceptable infringement on the rights of Texans and cities.
- Cisneros outraises Cuellar in race for congressional seat
- Polls are open now! Vote early through Friday, Nov. 4. @TexasAFLCIO officers & staff offer a subtle hint on where we stand at the top of the ballot. #1u @BetoORourke #ChangeTxChangetheWorld

- We just witnessed the largest transfer of power away from working people and into the hands of a few power mad, anti-worker legislators that our state has ever seen. HB 2127 is now officially headed to the Governors desk.
- No worker deserves to die on the job. It is beyond time for federal heat protections. #WorkersCantWait🧵 TODAY: I’m leading a group of 110+ Members of Congress in calling on @POTUS & @OSHA_DOL to create federal heat protections for all workers. #WorkersCantWait (1/5) thedailybeast.com/dems-push-bide…
- Up and running again after an illness that he credited dedicated nurses for getting him through, @BetoORourke brought a giant San Antonio #LaborDay crowd to his feet with a call to action to change #TX. The future is in the hands of working families. #1u #TxAFLCIO
