Happy Labor Day!

  • 30 August 2025

This Labor Day, we’re reflecting on the strength and solidarity union members have shown throughout the past year.

Despite lopsided labor laws, an anti-union administration and a rollback of rights, workers across the country are forming unions with OPEIU and winning the contracts they deserve. Workers at hospitals, credit unions, public utilities, record labels, tech companies, nonprofits, colleges and universities and other industries are coming together in union despite the odds.

We look forward to continuing to build union power across industries in pursuit of economic, racial and social justice at work and in our communities. May you and your loved ones have a wonderful Labor Day.

OPEIU to Receive 2025 Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Award

  • 22 August 2025

Washington, D.C. — The Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU), AFL-CIO, is proud to receive the 2025 Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Award from the Jobs with Justice Education Fund. The award, presented annually by Jobs with Justice, honors Roosevelt’s legacy by recognizing workers and their unions who are advancing the fight for economic, racial and social justice at work and in their communities. 

“We, the workers of Sesame Workers Union, are overjoyed to receive this incredible award and want to thank Jobs with Justice for this honor.” Sarah Beck-Hill, a senior manager at Sesame Workshop, said. “Our union campaign reflects the care and commitment we foster every day in our work to help families everywhere, and by forming this union, that includes our own.

“Our union and this award is a testament to the impact that can be made when we care for our community, address our needs, and uplift and support one another to become smarter, stronger and kinder together,” Beck-Hill said.
