Labor Launches Online News Channel:
Watch How America's Middle Class is Fighting Back

http://www.seiu.org/2011/06/watch-how-americas-middle-class-is-fighting-back.php

Labor's first online news channel released its first newscast last week, telling the stories of workers in California, Wisconsin, and other states where unions and middle class families are fighting to protect the middle class.

Dozens of states are facing major budget battles and employees are being targeted to fix the revenue problems. On the National Workforce Network, we'll show you what SEIU-led public employees in several states are doing and how corporations are using a major loophole to skip out on paying their taxes.

One state is working to privatize medical care while sidestepping the collective bargaining process. We'll show you why employees are banding together to force the state back to negotiations. Plus, we'll show you what many SEIU members are doing to fight for a fair economy - one conversation at a time.
