TRENTON – Acting on his commitment to support and uplift New Jersey workers, Governor Phil Murphy on Jan. 20, 2020, signed a legislative package combatting worker misclassification and exploitation.

Mark your calendars now for the 30^th Convention of the New Jersey State AFL-CIO

On this solemn holiday, we honor

one of America’s most inspiring leaders:

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968

The U.S.-China trade deal fails to address workers rights and cheating, the president of the AFL-CIO says.

Are good union jobs on the horizon in New Jersey?

As of Jan. 13, 2020, several pieces of pro-worker legislation have now passed both houses and are on Governor Murphy’s desk for consideration. 

The New Jersey State AFL-CIO thanks Gov. Phil Murphy for signing into law S-3425 / A-4958, an important safety measure for motorists and railroad operators alike, which was championed by our sisters and brothers of SMART-TD, UTU.

Congress has a critical opportunity to strengthen workers’ rights. 

It's Go Time for the New Jersey Assembly to save call center jobs in the state. A-1992 is coming up for a vote in the full Assembly, Monday, Jan. 13, and it's critical that it passes. Why?

Call center jobs are being sent overseas from New Jersey, eliminating positions that support hard-working American families. And – believe it or not! – certain corporations are getting “job creation” tax breaks from the state Economic Development Authority as a result of shipping out the jobs.

The New Jersey State AFL-CIO congratulates our sisters and brothers who have taken on new titles and responsibilities in 2020. The AFL-CIO takes pride in their accomplishments and is deeply grateful for their service to Garden State working families as elected and appointed officials.
