National Leaders Talk; Wisconsin Union Members Must Act

“The tax on benefits in the Senate bill pits working Americans who need health care for their families against working Americans struggling to keep health care for their families. This is a policy designed to benefit elites—in this case, insurers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and irresponsible employers, at the expense of the broader public,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.  “It’s the same tragic pattern that got us where we are today, and I can assure you the labor movement is fighting with everything we’ve got to win health care reform that is worthy of the support of working men and women.”

Following his address to the National Press Club which focused primarily on job creation, Trumka traveled to the White House on Monday, where he and other union leaders met with President Obama to discuss how the final health care reform legislation should be shaped.

But such discussions are meaningless unless working men and women in Wisconsin and across the country stand together to demand real reform.  Your participation in today’s National Health Care Call-in Day is critical.  The toll free number is:

Tell your Representative to stand strong for working families by voting for health care reform that:

•    DOES NOT tax our health care benefits.

•    Requires employers to pay their fair share.

•    Reduces costs—and the best way to do that is with a public health care option.

Negotiations to merge the House and Senate legislation are underway.  Make sure that you have your say, before it is too late!
