14 Apr Working Families Demand a Better Deal from Our Federal Government
As Congress and the federal government respond to COVID-19 and the economic crisis, the AFL-CIO is taking the lead with affiliate unions by
advocating for the needs of working families.
- The labor movement is insisting that the next stimulus package include stronger workplace safety guidelines and more resources to protect front-line workers.
- The AFL-CIO is asking Congress for investments that will keep all workers employed and protect hard-earned pension benefits
- Provide funding for state and local governments, public schools and our U.S. Postal Service.
- The federal government also must keep working people covered by protecting and expanding health insurance benefits.
- And we need policymakers to focus on Americaโs long-term competitiveness as we rebuild our economy and restore our nationโs infrastructure.
