What Have American Unions Ever Done for Us?

Anonymous said...: So, obviously the unions are important. I have worked as a loborer in manufacturing and service. Even as a non-union worker, I know that the unions' work benefited me. And as a non-union worker I have felt powerless against my employer when I felt they did me wrong. "There's the door if you don't like it!" As if there are just tons of jobs out there for me to go find another one. The main complaint I keep hearing is that the unions are "corrupted". What does that mean, is it true, and, if true, can it be fixed?; July 14, 2011 at 11:30 AM

Mission Statement

Welcome to the PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE. We are a multi-racial, multi-issue "rainbow coalition" dedicated to social justice, peace and building progressive power. Our key priorities include economic justice; equal rights and equal opportunities for all regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation; international solidarity; humanitarian service; eradicating poverty at home and abroad; environmental protection and sustainable development; and electing progressives to public office and then holding them accountable.

Founded in 2005, we have grown to more than 7,000 members and have emerged as one of the largest and most grassroots activist groups in California. We are proud to serve as a local chapter Our Revolution, the national movement inspired by Bernie Sanders' historic 2016 Presidential Campaign, and as a local affiliate of United for Peace & Justice (UFPJ), a network of several hundred peace and justice groups from all over the world.
