SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger was interviewed by the Brennan Center for Justice while attending "The Next Democracy" conference at the White Oak Conservancy Center in Florida. "When workers had a voice on the job, when unionization was high and one in three workers had a union, not only was it good for those workers, it lifted up everybody," said Burger in the interview. "It raised the standards across America in terms of wages, healthcare, retirement security and the ability to give our kids a better life."

Watch Anna as she discusses organized labor's role in democracy, as well as the Bush legacy.
