Join the AFL-CIO’s community affiliate, Working America, to deliver a stack of cards calling for Sen. Hagan to end massive tax cuts for the rich and protect the programs which protect the rest of us.
The message of these letters is clear: North Carolinians value a strong unemployment insurance system and want legislators to protect this critical resource from cuts that would harm our state’s most vulnerable citizens.
What do you think we need to do to make America work for the other 99%? It’s up to you to make the ninth demand! It’s your opportunity to say what you think will get our country working again.
In the past decade, more than 5 million manufacturing jobs and 850,000 information sector jobs have disappeared—many of which have been shipped overseas. This outsourcing is encouraged by faulty trade and tax policies that corporate executives use to boost record-breaking profits and outrageous and obscene executive salaries.
But finding out specific information on specific companies sending American jobs overseas and devastating their communities has been nearly impossible—until now. The AFL-CIO and Working America’s new Job Tracker database lists information on more than 400,000 corporations that have exported jobs overseas, violated health and safety codes or engaged in discriminatory or other illegal practice. (Check it out at http://t.co/qbg7wwm.)
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, in a conference call with reporters this morning, said Job Tracker’s searchable by ZIP code and the interactive database gives:
“everyday people the opportunity to actually see what is happening in their community and shine the light on what corporations are doing. For the first time, working people have one place to see the real impact of the failed policies of the past that gave corporations the ability to ship American jobs overseas.”
With this new data as a benchmark, working people will have the ability to separate the economic patriots from the corporate traitors at the ballot box.
The North Carolina State AFL-CIO is the largest association of local unions and union councils in North Carolina, representing over one-hundred and forty-thousand union members, fighting for good jobs, safe workplaces, workers’ rights, consumer protections, and quality public services on behalf of ALL working people.
