OPEIU proudly honors the contributions of our nation’s veterans today, tomorrow and every day. 

More than 1.6 million active union members are military veterans. Many are members of the Union Veterans Council, an AFL-CIO constituency group devoted to improving the lives of veterans at work and in our communities. 

Veterans play an integral role at every level of the labor movement and we are proud to honor them this Veterans Day. 

In solidarity, 
Team OPEIU

Presidential administrations change, but the labor movement’s values do not. We stand for the freedom to organize and for the right to collectively bargain. We stand for solidarity—the kind that is built when working people stand together to take on the biggest, richest bosses and the most powerful extremist politicians. Most importantly, we know how to fight back when anyone comes after our freedoms.

This result is a blow for every worker who depends on our elected leaders to fight for our jobs, our unions and our contracts. We organized for months to produce a nearly 17-point advantage for Vice President Kamala Harris with union members. But it is clear that the economic struggle working-class people are facing is causing real pain and neither party has sufficiently addressed it.
