We ARE One

 

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka gives a powerful speech on worker's rights and the tough questions America faces today.  A must watch.

 

 

There was a time in this country…


Reverend Cletus Kiley inspired the 2,000+ Building Trades union leaders and members who filled the Washington Hilton for the 2011 Building and Construction Trades Department (BCTD) Legislative Conference.

The AFL-CIO blog ran a nice piece on BCTD President Mark Ayers’ speech.

The tone was set by Reverend Kiley’s heartfelt repudiation of the status quo, of the “current social contract,” and his espousal of the blessing of the “righteous anger” that has filled the movement. Full video of the invocation is below.
