Today @delauro.house.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, and other congressional supporters are reintroducing the Healthy Families Act. This bill would make workplaces safer and more equitable for all #workers– it’s a no brainer.
Today’s jobs report shows that the unemployment rate for young Black workers ages 16 –19 rose dramatically to 23.9% from 14.8% in May of 2025. That's the kind of surge in unemployment we only see during recessions. It's time for a Jobseekers' Allowance! www.nelp.org/recession-le...
As employers replace more workers with AI to increase their already high profits, Black workers will pay a high price. It's critical to put in guardrails to retain, retrain, and upskill workers, while improving unemployment insurance for those who are displaced.
