Politicians, facing daunting budget deficits, are looking for someone to bear the brunt of deep and painful cuts. And who did they chose? Teachers. Construction workers. Police officers. Food safety inspectors. Nuclear clean-up crews.
Anti-worker politicians are using budget crises as an excuse to scapegoat public employees like these – middle class workers who are already working hard just to get by. And while Congress does need an economic recovery plan, slashing jobs and benefits will only make things worse.
Sign our petition urging Congress and the president to stop destroying good jobs and develop a real plan for economic recovery.
