The failing state of our economy, skyrocketing costs of healthcare and the growing CEO-to-worker pay gap have combined to create a crisis. Collectively, these factors have become an impossible drain on the finances of working Americans and on our economy.
Americans have spoken powerfully for change and now expect action --action that will both revive our failing economy and rebuild it stronger and fairer for the future.
And we can't afford to wait....
which is why SEIU will unveil a groundbreaking state-by-state effort to fight for immediate economic relief and recovery efforts, help fix the nation's broken healthcare system and ensure workers have freedom to choose a voice at work on a telephone press conference tomorrow, January 7, at 1:30 p.m. (EST).
Getting our economy on track now --and building an economy with strength that can last---means building an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. We must act now to help President-Elect Obama:
- Pass an economic recovery plan to keep people working, create millions of new jobs, and maintain services for our communities.
- Pass the Employee Free Choice Act to ensure that workers, not just CEOs, can benefit from the economic progress they help create and advocate for the best quality for those they serve.
- Fix our healthcare system so that it lowers costs and provides quality, affordable health care for all.
