 Nov. 4, 2025 | US LABOR UNIONS | The largest federal workers' union this week threw its support behind a Republican government funding bill [that would end the shutdown], ratcheting up pressure on Democrats. But many of the top labor unions told ABC News that they continue to back the strategy taken up by Democrats, breaking with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), which represents hundreds of thousands of federal workers losing out on pay and staring down the threat of layoffs. [A]t least one major union has sided with AFGE. Teamsters President Sean O’Brien has urged lawmakers to pass a clean continuing resolution [CR], reiterating his position on Thursday in remarks made alongside top Trump administration officials at the White House. "Do not put working people in the middle of a problem. They should not be in there," said O'Brien. ABC News
