“No jobs. No future.” That was one of the slogans chanted at the March on Wall St. The fight for jobs is the fight for our future. Everything depends on creating jobs – repairing the housing crisis, boosting consumer confidence, avoiding long-term budget crises, and closing current holes in state and local budgets.
The people who started the financial crisis of 2008 – Wall Street bankers – are responsible for the loss of 11 million jobs in this country. It’s only right they pay for the programs necessary to create jobs.
In this video, AFL-CIO Policy Director Damon Silvers explains what we mean when we say: Good Jobs Now, Make Wall Street Pay, with an introduction by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.
