The Jobs Crisis: Moving to Action
Monday, July 11, 2011
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Don’t let former comedian Al Franken’s presence fool you, “The
Jobs Crisis — Moving to Action: A Dialogue Between Workers and
Policymakers” is no laughing matter. Especially after unemployment rose in
June for the fourth consecutive month. Sen. Franken (D., MN) joins commentator
Bob Herbert, economist Heather Boushey, Rep. Sander Levin (D. MI?), AFL-CIO
President Richard Trumka and others for a discussion between workers,
policymakers, economists and labor leaders about “how to get beyond the
policies that created an economy that works for Wall Street and CEOs toward an
economy that works for all.” Click

“It's time for the plain talk about jobs that is worthy of the American
people—a conversation that tells the truth,” say organizers.
