Labor Union Blog

Working America, the AFL-CIO's 1.8 million-member community affiliate for people who don't have a union on the job but want a voice in shaping the national agenda, has just launched a new blog—Word on the Street—where you can read the latest doorstop news from the group's canvassers who are talking to working families every night across America.

These activist men and women are going into neighborhoods and communities and talking to people face to face about the issues vital to working families—health care, good jobs, education, retirement security. The hundreds of canvassers in eight states do more than talk. They give people an opportunity to make themselves heard on these issues by joining Working America, the nation's fastest growing organization for working families. Some 20,000 new activists a week are joining Working America.
