Everyone Benefits From Unions
"Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden freedom is lost." President Ronald Reagan.
“United we bargain. Divided we beg,” Service Employees International Union slogan.
“We all do better when we all do better,” the late Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota.
Everyone doing better involves collective action and win-win solutions. This is what collective bargaining by unions is all about. It is democracy applied to the workplace. Ronald Reagan's statement is true even if spoken disingenuously by a union busting politician.
We are all better off ...

Our group of retiree’s support Medicare and Medicaid so seniors and the most vulnerable have access to quality care. Anyone who works all their life should be able to retire with financial ...
Hands Off Our Earned Benefits
Social Security is an incredibly effective and popular program. It provides benefits to over 1.2 million Wisconsinites and keeps over 400,000 out of poverty. There is no reason Social Security should be a partisan issue. It benefits Republicans, Democrats, and independents.
But Senator Ron Johnson wants to put these vital earned benefits at risk by turning Social Security and Medicare into “discretionary spending.” That would turn these programs from guaranteed earned benefits into ordinary government spending that Congress has to vote to fund every ...
