What do Workers Deserve this Labor Day?
The AFL-CIO has announced Workers Deserve, a Workers’ Labor Day week of action.
In communities large and small in every state, workers will celebrate our power and the freedom, fairness and security we all deserve. At hundreds of events across the country, working people will send a clear message to greedy CEOs, billionaires and anti-worker politicians: We built this country, and we’re taking it back.
The Workers Deserve Labor Day week of action will be a culmination of the AFL-CIO’s “It’s Better in a Union: Fighting for Freedom, Fairness and Security” bus tour, which will wrap up after two months of crisscrossing the country with two buses to highlight workers’ fights to organize, win fair contracts and counteract the impact that reckless policies are having on our lives.
Order AFT New Member Organizing Materials
AFT members unite to fight for real solutions because we understand that when we band together at work and in our communities, we can create a better life for all. Together, we’re fighting the extremists who want to destroy public education, dismantle our democracy, defund public services, decimate healthcare and demonize the vulnerable—and we’re standing up to the privatizers who are more concerned about profits than people.
To help you continue growing and gaining power, we’ve refreshed our organizing materials. Order today at go.aft.org/AFTmaterials.
Materials are available year-round. Whenever you are planning an organizing push, union event or other mobilizing opportunity, you can select the resources you need, including organizing brochures that show prospective members how to amplify their voice, a Value of Belonging poster that highlights our accomplishments, pocket calendars, and professional learning options and benefits brochures that reinforce our day-to-day support for our members.
Place your order and spread the word: We’re creating a better life for all!
