Take Action
A variety of issues we can all tackle!
Tell Congress: Support The United States Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Bill!
With American families struggling, it's time for companies to bring good jobs home. Foreign call centers not only ship jobs abroad, but they endanger our confidential personal information because they operate without US data regulation.
You can tell lawmakers to support the US Call Center Bill. The Bill would build jobs in America by:
Creating a customers' right to know - Ending the secrecy about call center locations, so outsourcers and offshorers can't hide anymore.
Forcing companies that outsource abroad to return federal funding - Because our hard earned tax-dollars shouldn't go to support corporations that ship American jobs to foreign countries.
Giving you the right to be transferred to a US-based operator.
But we need your support. Members of Congress will only sign on if they hear our voices loud and clear. Use our simple tool to send a message to your US Representative by clicking HERE.
Take Action: Stop Verizon Greed
45,000 Verizon workers are back to work and unified as one with their brothers and sisters and community supporters. Our collective fight for the American Dream continues.
Our work is far from complete. Our strike objective from the beginning was a real collective bargaining process. Your support was essential to creating that opportunity. Now begins the hard work of negotiating a fair contract.
If wealthy corporations like Verizon continue to outsource jobs and hold down worker wages, there is no hope for an economic recovery. This is why our fight is your fight and why your support is so important.

Tell Congress: Hands Off Our Medicare!
For nearly 60 years, our country has kept a commitment to seniors and retirees – providing health coverage and a secure retirement regardless of one’s ability to pay.
But today, some in Congress are considering breaking that promise in order to fund another round of corporate loopholes and tax breaks for billionaires. The House Republican Budget Plan would make deep cuts to Medicare, jeopardizing the benefits that millions of Americans rely on every day.
Send a letter to your Senators and Members of Congress urging them to protect the American dream by voting down the Republican plan. Sign a letter by clicking HERE.
Speed Matters
All Americans need access to reliable and affordable high speed internet connections. Once the world leader of high speed internet adoption, today the U.S. has slipped to 25th place in terms of average Internet connection speeds, behind countires like South Korea (#1) and Romania (#5). It's time for a change! If we can deploy more broadband infrastructure, we will employ more Union workers and raise the average Internet connection speed in the U.S., making Americans more competitive and viable in the high-speed world we live in today.
