Good Jobs For All
The gap between rich and poor is now the widest it’s been in 50 years. As wages continue to stagnate, working people across America are suffering. Unions are the best antidote we have to income inequality.
Key Points
- Raise the minimum wage to at least $15/hr.
- Push Congress and the White House to enact Labor Law Reform.
- End so-called “Right to Work” legislation.
- Guarantee our tax payer dollars are creating good jobs, not keeping workers in poverty.

The gap between rich and poor is now the widest it’s been in 50 years. As wages continue to stagnate, working people across America are suffering. Unions are the best antidote we have to income inequality. When workers join unions and use their collective strength to negotiate better wages – all workers benefit. We’re organizing to expand the right of workers to form unions, pass a $15 federal minimum wage, and end so-called “right-to-work” legislation. We’re also fighting to ensure that our taxpayer dollars are invested in companies that create good union jobs in the USA – not firms that steal wages and ship jobs overseas.
