The 99% Must Succeed
Brothers and Sisters,Last week I attended the annual AFL-CIO Executive Council meeting in Florida.  This meeting brought together union leaders from across the country and served as a catalyst to address many of the challenges we face as workers in the middle class today. Most importantly, it created the opportunity to  adopt numerous policy statements needed to affect positive change.  Among the topics discussed, “Reaffirming our Commitment to Workers’ Rights”,  “Restoring Democracy,” and “Fixing What is Wrong with our Economy” speaks to the fundamental requirements for the 99% to succeed.I encourage you all to take the time to read the statements below and share them with your family, friends, coworkers,  and community leaders.

  • Fixing What is Wrong with Our Economy–  How to build an economic program that maximizes the competitiveness and prosperity of the human beings who live and work in America instead of maximizing the competitiveness and profitability of corporations that maintain headquarter on U. S. territory.   Read More
  • Restoring our Democracy–  Support the overturning of “Citizens United”, a Supreme Court ruling allowing unlimited independent campaign spending by business corporations and other groups and calling for immediate action to end the dominance of our political system by corporations.  Read More
  • Organizing and Growth–   Stresses the importance of collective bargaining and  eliminating the intolerable obstacles workers must face to form a union.  Read More

The time to unite has never been more urgent.

In Solidarity,
