AFL-CIO Launches “It’s Better in a Union: Freedom, Fairness and Security” Bus Tour

Yesterday, the AFL-CIO launched the It’s Better in a Union: Freedom, Fairness, and Security national bus tour. Labor leaders and union members will travel the country over the next few months to engage with workers about how the Trump administration’s policies are affecting their lives.

CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. spoke at the event along with other labor leaders. “The CEOs and billionaires who have taken over our federal government care about two things—stock prices and corporate profits,” Cummings told the crowd. “Union members and retirees care about each other. We care about making sure that our workplaces and our communities are places where we can build careers, support our families, and have a comfortable retirement. That’s what this bus tour is all about. Visiting towns and cities across the country to talk about our hopes for the future and how we can build power to change the direction of our country.”
