What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

General Strike! Shut the country down!

There is some talk about "shutting the country down" and a "general strike."


But, what those proposing these actions are trying to accomplish is very vague.


I think working people should shut this country down until we get a National Public Health Care System.


Why aren't the millionaire labor "leaders" led by Richard Trumka now meeting trying to figure out what can be done about Trump considering such action?

Trump on his reactionary health care legislation: "Nothing to complain about."

Another lie. What isn't there to complain about?
