• Como ha hecho durante décadas, el movimiento sindical defiende los valores morales fundamentales que hacen fuerte a Estados Unidos: educación de calidad para nuestros hijos, asistencia sanitaria asequible para todas las personas -no sólo para algunas-, el fin de la pobreza, pensiones seguras y salarios que permitan a las familias mantener la vida de clase media que ha alimentado la prosperidad y la fortaleza de esta nación. Los sindicalistas y otros activistas de las familias trabajadoras no sólo votamos nuestros valores morales, sino que los vivimos. Luchamos por ellos, día tras día. Nuestro compromiso con la justicia económica y social nos impulsa a nosotros y a todo lo que hacemos.
