Build power. Fight back. WIN!
Jobs with Justice National Conference
August 5-7, 2011 in Washington, DC

This year – starting now – we are expecting an array of serious attacks on workers’ rights to hit state legislatures, including Right to Work for Less laws, paycheck deception, anti-prevailing wage bills, anti-immigrant bills, and continued attacks on the public sector. Corporations want to use the failing economy as an excuse to reverse every worker protection put in place over the last century, but we won’t let that happen.

Come to the Jobs with Justice conference to learn from and strategize with labor leaders, rank & file workers, students, religious leaders, community activists, workers excluded from labor law protection, and many, many more about how to build a powerful movement of working people to defeat the corporate agenda.

"Big Labor" or Wall Street: Who Hurt The American Economy? - Working Life:
 "'Big Labor' or Wall Street: Who Hurt The American Economy?"
by Jonathan Tasini
Thursday 23 of June, 2011

  Why? Because all of this mess is the fault of "Big Labor"  and workers who are being paid too much.

    Not that we lost trillions of dollars in wealth because of the mortgage scam, and we are letting the crooks get away with a slap on the wrist, whether that be Goldman Sachsor J.P. Morgan, who are also, thank you very much, making sure that theirpay reachs record levels again because, after all, they have not plundered the economy of every last cent.

    Or that we are obsessed with a phony debt and deficit crisis--not the trillions of dollars in corporate welfare we could save if someone had the guts to take on the real culprits.

    We need to reinforce who caused this mess--not for the people who have an ideological goal to destroy unions but for the many, many people who are absorbing the blather they read or hear via the media and politicians.
