Saunders: We Must Build a Main Street Movement
by Korey Hartwich | March 14, 2012
AFSCME Sec.-Treas. Lee Saunders this week appeared on radio outlets across the country, talking about the labor union’s 75 year history and its future. In an interview with Workers Independent News (WIN), he linked AFSCME’s campaigns for workers’ rights to a broader Main Street movement in which individuals are pulling together to fight for working families.
“We have a very, very proud history of 75 years,” Saunders said. “And we’re gonna have another very proud 75 years in the future.”
He added that AFSCME will be “aggressive in promoting public service and promoting working families and building the middle class.”
