Greetings,
Reminder: A
year ago October 1st, Congress bailed out the banks and
insurers,
claiming they
were 'too big to fail.'
They got bailed
out; we got sold out!
From
In These Times, 'Unions, progressives to Launch Wall St. Reform
Drives' ,
"Unions and progressive coalitions are seeking to add
grass-roots organizing power to President Obama's calls for financial reform, with
stepped up activism from the AFL-CIO, Jobs With Justice and the
progressive Americans
for Financial Reform coalition all
starting this week.
Following last week's AFL-CIO convention that
aimed to jump-start reform drives and the
union movement, new president Richard Trumka and other leaders
will be taking their case for economic reform to Wall Street and
the public."
