“The Trump Administration’s unprovoked attack on Iran is a disaster for working people everywhere. Attacks by the US and Israel have already killed civilians across the country, including more than 80 children at a girls’ elementary school in Minab. (The death toll has since risen to 168—Ed.) Working people in the U.S. do not want another illegal regime change war. The U.S. military should not determine how Iran is governed”, said United Auto Workers (UAW) Locals 4811, 872, and 2478 in California on February 28.
“SEIU stands with the workers in Iran and all over the world fighting for better, safer lives. We know the power of working people together and we will oppose this and any other move by this administration that harms workers, our families, and our communities”, wrote the Service Industry Employees Union (SEIU) on February 28.
“The massive resources spent on unnecessary military adventures, in both Iran and Venezuela, would be better spent addressing the high costs of healthcare, groceries and housing for working people. Although the Trump administration has declared the affordability crisis ‘over’, working people’s pocketbooks and bills say otherwise. (…) It needs to be up to the Iranian people to make changes to their government, something that being bombed by the U.S. and Israel will only make more difficult,” denounced United Electrical Workers on March 2.
“While Trump and the Republicans prioritize spending on war abroad, they are simultaneously gutting Medicaid and Medicare, refusing to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies (…) and proving that they run the United States to benefit only billionaires and corporations,” said National Nurses United (NNU) on March 2.
On March 28, the “No Kings” movement is calling for another day of national mobilization, following those on June 14 and October 18, 2025. This time, the organizing committee announces “significant participation by labor unions” and that one of the slogans will be “No to imperialist wars of conquest!” Rallies have already been called for in 3,000 cities across the United States.
