Casey Introduces No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act
Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) was joined by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) in introducing the No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act to end the taxpayer subsidization of corporate union-busting campaigns. As workers around the country join together to fight for better pay and safer working conditions, they often face million-dollar corporate intimidation campaigns to prevent unionization.

Murray and Kaine Child Care Plan Expands Access and Lowers Cost for Families
Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) have rolled out a new plan that would expand access to child care to more than 1 million children, lower costs for families, and get parents back to work by investing more in the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), pre-K, and Head Start. AFSCME continues to advocate for robust investments in our child care system to help our child care providers and continue to provide high quality care for our nation’s children.
