A real agenda...
a.. The need for a federal "living wage"-level minimum wage to benefit the
millions of Americans now paid a minimum wage that doesn't allow them to
support their families.
b.. A national health care policy to provide for the 40+ million Americans
who lack health insurance
c.. Stringent enforcement of OSHA to reduce the number of workers
needlessly injured and killed on the job
d.. Corporate abuse of workers, such as the Wal-Mart scandal, where
management is charged with forcing workers to work overtime off the clock
e.. A national jobs policy to ensure well-paying jobs are not consistently
replaced by lower-paying ones
f.. A halt to the rollback of laws protecting the environment
g.. A guarantee of an honest vote in federal and state elections
