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.

Ruby Ridge Dairy owners Dick and Ruby Bengen have taken harassment to a new level of brutality: employees work long hours and are forced to go without lunch breaks. Dick Bergen even patrols the farm with a rifle, saying "This is for those people with the union."
But Northwest Farm Credit Services continues to lend the money that keeps Ruby Ridge in business, while claiming to maintain "high standards of integrity" and practice "ethical decision making." We can help stop these appalling conditions by shaming Northwest FCS into stopping its financing of Ruby Ridge.
Sign the petition now!

Supermarket chain Giant Eagle is resorting to ugly, hardball tactics to keep its workers from organizing. Sending threatening letters, having security teams follow people around, and even arresting an employee who worked at Giant Eagle for 36 years – for nothing more than talking with her coworkers.
Send a letter to Giant Eagle’s CEO and let him know that it’s not acceptable to treat workers like criminals.

The NFL is threatening to 'lock out' its players next season unless they make outrageous concessions – for example, the NFL wants to take away ALL healthcare benefits from players and their families.
If there's no football season, it would impact 150,000 jobs in each and every city with an NFL team. Local economies will be devastated. All because of the NFL owners' greed.
Help save football season and stop economic devastation. Sign our petition to the NFL.

It's been 30 years since Florida tomato pickers – working under brutal conditions – got a pay raise. They earn 45 cents for each 32-pound bucket. Now, all they want is one more penny per pound – but they need our help to get it.
Help us demand fair wages and humane conditions for these workers by sending an email to the CEOs of Trader Joe's, Publix, Stop & Shop, Giant, and Kroger. Ask the supermarkets to step up and push growers to give these workers the penny raise they deserve.
Take action and tell your supermarket to stop exploiting farmworkers!

Eurofresh tomatoes have been named "America's
Best Tasting." They're greenhouse-grown and pesticide-free – so they're
better for consumers, workers, and the environment. And none of this success would be possible if Eurofresh didn't truly respect its workers and their union.
Congratulate Eurofresh management and workers on
running a company that is not only growing America's best tomato, but
providing good, green union jobs.
Sign our thank you card today!
