VIDEO: Mary Kay Henry: "Why We're Standing Up In Wisconsin" #solidarity

There's been a coordinated campaign for the last thirty years to undermine the American middle class by weakening the power of workers to collectively bargain to raise their wages. But thanks in large part to the courageous stand of the working men and women of Wisconsin, the national movement to preserve our middle class and defend the American Dream has been renewed in a big way.

On Monday, SEIU President Mary Kay Henry joined our brothers and sisters in Madison to help preserve basic protections for working families and urged them to continue fighting. Watch below:

Republicans may have launched campaigns to take away workers' rights in more than a dozen states. But if we stop them in Wisconsin, we'll make a strong statement that America will not tolerate any more Republican attacks on the middle class. Stand with workers in Wisconsin now.
