February is Black History Month. And while we celebrate Black labor leaders and union members, both past and present, who have advanced real change, we won’t ignore the moment we find ourselves in right now. 

Yesterday, the Labor & Public Employees Committee held a public hearing that would protect workers in warehouse distribution centers and allow workers on strike to access unemployment insurance.

Last month, we rallied with the five union janitors who lost their jobs at the CT Science Center when the CEO replaced them with non-union cleaners.

But the CT Science Center still refuses to bring them back.

Each year in April, we gather together for Workers Memorial Day to honor the memory of those workers who have lost their lives on the job.
