Loading ...More than 60 union members, their families and local candidates came together for a health care presentation sponsored by the Northwest Missouri Central Labor Council in St. Joseph yesterday. Members reviewed a video, talked about their personal experiences with the health care system and passed a resolution promising to educate their fellow members about health care and how candidates running for office stand on the issue.
They also committed to taking part in the May 17 labor walks in Missouri. Much of the discussion centered on distributing fliers at their worksites. Union leaders and activists learned about what’s at stake in the November elections, including the dangers posed by John McCain’s health care proposals, which would raise taxes and undermine the health care of millions.
