Take Action on Health Care! Write a letter to U.S. Senators Franken and Klobuchar
The U.S. House and U.S. Senate will be negotiating to reconcile the very substantive differences between their respective packages of health care reform legislation. For working families, the House version is far superior to the Senate version.
The time is NOW to weigh in on the debate about health care reform. Write U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken and urge them to support health care reform that:
• DOES NOT tax our health care benefits
• Requires employers to pay their fair share
• Controls health care costs --and the best way to do that is by creating a public health care insurance plan option

Senator Amy Klobuchar

With the G-20 summit bringing leaders of the world's largest economies to Pittsburgh, labor media went behind the scenes to explore how workers there are faring in today's economy. Members of the Internatiional Communications Association, in town for the biennial meeting of the ILCA, fanned out across Pittsburgh September 11, 2009 in media teams, working with local union activists in a dozen industries. Pens, cameras, mics and digital video cameras in hand, we talked with the folks who make the city run, and then presented their stories in video, photos, and news stories.
