SOTU

SOTU

From strengthening unions to the anti-worker Trans-Pacific Partnership.

SOTU

"We still need laws that strengthen rather than weaken unions, and give American workers a voice."

SOTU

"If you think you can raise a family on $15k a year, try it."

SOTU

Affordable childcare is a huge issue, and frequently one that is overlooked in contract bargaining.

SOTU

As Obama mentions income inequality, the question I have is: "Who is the least wealthy member of Congress?"

SOTU

Obama starts off by trumpeting the economy and number of insured people.

US Airways and American Airlines Merger

Congratulations and welcome to the labor community to the 14,500 workers at American and US Airways who voted by an overwhelming 86 percent to join CWA/IBT.

 I am particularly proud of my fellow Texans who did their part to grow the labor family in the Lone Star State.

In Solidarity,

Joseph Riedel
