  • Restrict All Credit Reporting Agencies
    Credit agencies profit from distributing your credit information to various entities, including potential future employers. This information is about you and should be considered your property. No potential employer should be able to base their hiring decision on your credit rating. This rating has no bearing on one's ability to perform high quality work and be a good employee. Your credit rating provides one more opportunity for descrimination!

  • ASK EEOC TO PROSECUTE
    Thousands of people are forced to pay a private attorney to handle their discrimination cases once EEOC submits a "right to sue" letter. The EEOC has the power to prosecute each case.

  • Fed Cuts Off Hundreds of Thousands of Unemployed Across the country, 93,000 affected in Californi...
    On May 12, 2012. the U.S. Department of Labor will cut federal funding to hundreds of thousands of US Families across the country. In California unemployed were given only two weeks' notice of loss of benefits, even though these benefits were expected to last for up to 20 weeks. The Fed believes 11% unemployment in California is an acceptable number and therefore they do not need to honor the 20 weeks promised to those seeking work. This could result in Californians' losing their homes, apartments, and cars. Tell lawmakers to support the hundreds of thousands of families across the country hit hardest by the economic downturn and act swiftly in extending federal unemployment benefits by fully extending the 2011 unemployment emergency assistance in 2012.

  • Modification To The Railway Labor Act
    Airline negotiations fall under the Railway Labor Act. Sounds odd, but the owners of the rails, over 100 years ago, wanted to ensure the trains would always run. By making it illegal to strike, when a contract ends, guaranteed the trains would operate. The U.S. airline system works the same way today. American and USAir pilots have been in negotiations for 6 years. United and Continental are in their 3rd and 4th years respectively. Airline managements drag their feet because they can and avoid pay increases for years. Labor needs the ability to strike when a contract ends and or receive cost of living adjustments for every month a contract goes beyond its amendable date.
