It's your union. Take action to help fellow laborers.A generation ago America put a man on the moon – but today we can no longer be assured of crossing bridges safely or being safe from failing dams or levees. Our infrastructure no longer works. It’s time elected leaders - and candidates for president, for Congress and for local and state offices – stood up for rebuilding America.
Sign the Petition to Build America and help put Build America issues on the nation’s agenda.
Now more than ever America needs relief from the housing and mortgage crisis. As many as 3 million families face foreclosure. In 2007 alone, 232,000 construction workers lost their jobs. And the crisis threatens retirement security.
Under a little-known provision of the Foreclosure Prevention Act, corporate homebuilders would get as much as $33 billion in tax breaks—even though they made billions in profits through subprime lending and speculative investors that helped create the current crisis.
Tell the Senate not to reward corporate homebuilders!
