Texas AFL-CIO

Texas AFL-CIO We’re the state labor federation representing 250,000+ union members. We fight for all Texas workers! We work the early shift and the late shift.

We are teachers, firefighters and farm workers, actors and engineers, pilots and public employees, painters and plumbers, steelworkers and screenwriters, doctors and nurses, stagehands, electricians and more. We are the unemployed, students and retirees. We believe that people who work make Texas work and that together, we are better.

Today's U.S. Senate Debate will help our union members — and workers across the state — determine who to support in the Democratic primary.

Thank you to both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico for their participation. Now, the process turns to our union delegates who will vote on who to endorse in the primary.

We’re in the fight for our lives. It’s workers versus billionaires, and we know which side we’re on. We’ll be supporting the candidates who support us!
