Labor Day
01 September 14
n this Labor Day, we salute the trade union movement and all Americans who are fighting for the needs of working families.
The sad reality of today's America is that while the
wealthiest people and largest corporations are doing phenomenally well,
the middle class is disappearing and millions of Americans are working
longer hours for lower wages. Congress must start listening to the
needs of ordinary Americans, not just the billionaire class and their
lobbyists.
We can create millions of new jobs by rebuilding our
crumbling infrastructure and dramatically improve life for low-wage
workers by raising the minimum wage. We need new trade policies to
prevent corporations from throwing American workers out on the street
and running to China for cheap labor and we need new tax policies so
they can't stash their profits in foreign tax havens. We need real
campaign finance reform so that the Koch brothers and other billionaires
are no longer able to buy elections.
In other words, we need an agenda that works for all Americans, and not just the very rich.
