AFL-CIO - Petition to Re Authorize Unemployment Benefits

Cutting 6 Million Workers Off at the Knees?

Speaker John Boehner—who has near absolute control over what comes up for a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives—may be willing to ignore our dire unemployment crisis and cut 6 million of America’s workers off at the knees while he pursues a polarizing anti-worker agenda.

That’s unacceptable from any politician, let alone the leader of the U.S. House of Representatives. On Wednesday afternoon, we’ll deliver an emergency petition to Congress after a press conference with jobless workers—and we need a massive national show of force to make sure John Boehner and other obstructionists hear us. Please add your name.
