We all know it: The economy is not working for working families.
Fact: Workers in America · Are the most productive in the world. · Work longer hours than in any other developed country. · Live in a country with more than $13 trillion a year in income. YET we face: · Stagnant wages and family incomes. · Increasing income insecurity. · Eroding health care benefits. · Disappearing pensions. BUT we don’t have to sit and wait for it to change. WE ARE THE CHANGE OUR ECONOMY NEEDS. Learn how you can DISMANTLE the corporate agenda and BUILD a working family agenda. Start by staying Union and support the Employee Free Choice Act. Here's our working family agenda: · Anyone who wants to work should have a job with a living wage. · Workers are proud of their work and should have the chance to do it right. · All workers and our families should be able to live in dignity with health care and retirement security. · Every worker should enjoy the freedom to form a union and bargain collectively. · Workers want to contribute to, and share in, building a world-class economy.
