OPINION: Building A New American Dream For America’s Workers
By Anna Burger, Change to Win Chair
As Americans come together today to celebrate Labor Day, the seven unions and six million members of Change to Win are committed to restoring the American Dream for America’s workers – just as our unions did for generations before.
Over the past two years, Change to Win has asked workers in surveys and focus groups to assess the American Dream for themselves and their families, and what we’ve found is both dramatic and powerful. Consistently America’s workers overwhelmingly believe in the American Dream—work that is respected, wages that can support a family, affordable health care, a secure retirement and the opportunity for a better life for their children. This election year working families are more enthusiastic and motivated than ever before and are looking to the next president to help renew the Dream.
