Raise the minimum wage

image (3-13-06) In the past nine years, workers making the minimum wage haven’t gotten a single raise. Not one. And while the wage of $5.15 an hour has stayed the same, its value has dropped precipitously, putting workers further and further behind.

It’s long past time for Congress to help the millions of workers earning the minimum wage or close to it. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) has introduced the Fair Minimum Wage Act, and you can help by signing on as a citizen co-sponsor of the bill.

Called up for active duty but don't know your rights?

soldiers (8-22-04) Today, because of dramatic reduction of military personnel during the 1990s, nearly half of U.S. military members are reservists, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. Some reservists may be on active duty for six months or longer and are unsure of their rights concerning their job and benefits.

If you need more information about how your military service affects your employment, visit the AFL-CIO to read more and take action.
