TV screenwriters – the driving force behind the programming that fuels television networks and streaming services and generates billions in profits – are facing the most comprehensive assault on compensation and working conditions in a generation. On Thursday, May 18, from 5:30-7:30pm, join the AFL-CIO to leaflet on behalf of WGA East outside a Comcast NBC Universal film screening in DC. Meet at 701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. RSVP to join tonight's action: Call your Senators to support Julie Su for Secretary of LaborJulie Su has made a career out of representing not only workers, but the most vulnerable workers in America. As a young attorney representing trafficked Thai garment workers outside of Los Angeles, she won $4 million in stolen wages. Her case set a huge precedent, and that was just the beginning of a storied career.
But right now, well-heeled lobbyists and corporate special interests are spending big to block Su’s confirmation because they know she puts working people first. Workers deserve a labor secretary who will fiercely defend us. Call your senators today and tell them to vote to confirm Julie Su as secretary of the Department of Labor. Comments are closed.
