On this Veterans Day, let’s remember the Union Veterans Council, which brings working-class veterans together to speak out on the issues that impact them most, especially the need for good jobs and a strong, fully funded and staffed VA.
Additionally, the Union Veterans Council holds private enterprise and elected officials accountable for their words and actions. They believe wholeheartedly that the ability for someone to self-identify as “pro-veteran” isn’t determined by what lapel pin they don or what catchphrase they employ; veterans face real issues that require real actions—constructive actions that lead to positive solutions. The Union Veterans Council fights every day for those who have fought for us.

In today’s labor history, on this date in 1940, 57 crewmen on three freighters died over a three-day period when their ships sank during a huge storm over Lake Michigan. Today’s labor quote is by Hugo Black, Alabama Senator and future supreme court justice, on the attack on the Bonus Army Vets in 1932. Hugo Black, who said: "As one citizen, I want to make my public protest against this militaristic way of handling a condition which has been brought about by widespread unemployment and hunger."
