Summary
AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond discusses the Minneapolis convention’s 2-million-member organizing goal, the federation’s position on artificial intelligence and worker voice, income inequality reaching its highest concentration since 1989 and a strict new endorsement standard adopted after Virginia Governor Spanberger vetoed collective bargaining legislation AFL-CIO leaders helped design during her campaign. He closes with a message to workers on the eve of America’s 250th: don’t get discouraged, stay in the fight and treat the midterms as the first step toward changing course.
