VERMONT AFL-CIO TEN POINT PROGRAM for UNION POWER

"The task before us today is not just to grow the power of Labor, but to become THE social & political power capable of making foundational change throughout the Green Mountains. The Vermont we aim to deliver is one where the working class, organized into Unions, see their hopes, dreams, and desires articulated and acted upon through an empowered Labor Movement, & through an empowered Town Meeting system on the community level. This ten point program, perhaps the most progressive agenda of any AFL-CIO State Federation in the nation, is a first step in this direction. And with your active support, and with the mass participation of the rank & file, we will not only win, but we will change what is politically possible in Vermont and beyond. UNITED! we are UNION STRONG!”
-David Van Deusen,
President of the Vermont AFL-CIO
