(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - The National AFL-CIO has announced Workers Deserve - a Workers’ Labor Day week of action that will take place in communities large and small in every State across the U.S. where the Working Class will celebrate their power and the freedom, fairness and security that all Working Americans deserve.

At hundreds of events across the country, Working People will send a clear message to greedy CEOs, billionaires and Anti-Worker politicians: We built this country and we’re taking it back.

National AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said: “Big corporations and billionaires like Elon Musk and President Trump launched the biggest attacks on Unions in history because they know that when we stand together, we have the power to speak out and fight back. As I’ve been traveling the country this Summer, I’ve been inspired by the energy and enthusiasm Workers have to create a better future where we all earn fair wages, and have good health care, a secure retirement and the dignity we deserve on the job. ‘It’s better in a Union’ - and we won’t stop until all Workers have a fair shot to join one.”

The Workers Deserve Labor Day week of action will be a culmination of the National AFL-CIO’s It’s Better in a Union: Fighting for Freedom, Fairness and Security Bus Tour, which will wrap up after two months of crisscrossing the country with two buses to highlight Workers’ fights to organize, win fair contracts and counteract the impact that reckless policies are having on our lives.

National AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond said: “Working People are more united than ever to restore our fundamental freedoms and spark an organizing renaissance that sets our country on a new course. The CEOs and billionaires are scared of us. That’s why they’re attacking us. I’ve got a message for those who are assaulting our rights: You’re right to be scared. Working People are the backbone of this country and when we join together in solidarity, nothing can stop us.”
