Across our economy and democracy, millions of working families and our communities have joined together to speak out and fight back against an extremist agenda that seeks to separate and divide us. The promise of America-that if you work hard you can build a better life-is broken for too many. The rules continue to be set by the greedy and self-interested through our courts and our legislative systems to favor the few over the many. This week, that attack began to be heard by the Supreme Court in the case of Janus vs. AFSCME, which attempts to tear apart public service workers from each other by weakening their unions. Our public sector workforce provides the vital services that help our families and communities thrive. When they are strong at work, its good for all of us.
In unions, working people gain the strength in numbers to raise wages and make their jobs better. As the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case, thousands of workers rose up in 600 actions across the country proclaiming #WeRise to stand up for the good union jobs working American families need.
We showed up in the streets and online to organize and win for working families. Please read and share my new post and see the impact we have together.
In unity,
Mary Kay Henry
SEIU International President |
