Demanding that colleges all require at least a minimum of their professors/Instructors work as full time. Many of us including me went back to college to specifically become full time Instructors however business changed all this as we become adjunct who over work and are underpaid often living just above poverty with our PhD’s! Thus with such laws college will be forced to sign on more quality caring full time staff who will then have the ability to pay back their student loan and help studenst learn as this is our passion not our additional income

It's about getting the DC government to recognize and support the need for affordable housing in the District.

I beleive citizens interested in really fixing the problems of this country should consider writing- in Bernie Sanders for President on an Independant ticket. We need a better choice of candidates for President. Obama has not been pushing Progressive enough policies and is too pro-war.Signing-in will make a difference because it will give citizens an alternative to the very corrupt 2-party system.Time is of the essence because Bernie has to have time to get his name more known to citizens who are unaware of how awesome are his platforms and the legislation he has been sponsoring.I beleive he is the only representative who will truly represent the best interests of the 99% so this country can turn around and start going in a direction that is more constructive and effective so our country can become productive,strong and respected again.

We need to quit making taxpayers pay for other people's loans, student or otherwise. It is unfair to create more debt by forgiving the debt of people who don't keep their committments and forcing the government to increase everybody's taxes to eventually pay for the losses. Or, worse yet, force the banks who gave the loans to lose their investments in the people to whom the loans were given.

Credit unions are exempt from paying into the state unemployment insurance fund. This may have made sense in the past when credit unions were small financial cooperatives. However, Credit Unions have expanded their business model and now operate as quasi banks offering a full range of financial services from credit cards to retirement planning. Employees of Credit Unions should therefore enjoy the same social safety net as those persons employed by for profit financial institutions.

Since people are given the right to opt of of a union through the right to work legislation they should also have the right to be represented by an organization if it be their desire! The rights of an individual should not be dependent upon a cooperation favoring their decision.

I am a union electrician who is still facing heavy unemployment rates. I live in NYC and 405 which is 350 after taking out federal tax is not an exceptable amount to even pay for the roof over your head. I am pushing for a higher unemployment rate of cash for the most expensive city too live in.

In 2006 , The Bush White House and Congress went after the Post Office with the " Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act" It requires the Post office to PRE-PAY the health care benefits for the NEXT 75 YEARS! This law requires USPS to totally fund SEVEN DECADES WORTH OF BENEFITS BY 2016!!! No other government or privately owned company is required to adhere to such a requirement. The Post Office is the #2 employer in the United States , employing 100,000 people with good union jobs. They are fully funded by the sale of stamps and related items. The USPS is the Most affordable way for Americans to mail items and it an American treasure! PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION !!!

The Single Parenting Leave Act (SPLA) is an act that I would like to be approved to protect single parents in the United States of America from being subject to discipline with their employers for attendance issues caused by or derived from fulfilling their parental responsibilities. Ex: Single Parent A is at work and receives a telephone call that his daughter is sick and needs to be picked up from school immediately. It is against this employer's policy for it's employees to have unscheduled absences without a supervisor's approval. However, Single Parent A notifies his employer of the situation and states he needs to use his employer approved Single Parenting Leave Act benefit to cover his unscheduled departure from work. The supervisor checks to see how many hours of this benefit is available for this employee, verifies there is an emergency situation taking place, and acknowledges that Single Parent A is a single parent with sole parental responsibilities, therefore approves for the Single Parenting Leave Act benefit to cover the amount of time and unscheduled departure that Single Parent A has requested. Single Parent A is immediately protected from discipline for attendance and all requests for discipline for attendance.
