I am currently involved with One Pittsburgh

I am also knocking on doors for One Pittsburgh, a group that has also liberated the US Uncut message.

Looks like the Change to Win unions are emulating Working America. The Change to Win unions I think are much faster than the AFL CIO old guard. I hope they move quickly to challenge this onslaught against working people. I also know that this is part of a larger national effort but this isn't made clear from the website.  They need to make this year round and they need to start challenging the worst of these pro child labor republicans.

You can check out their website here:


This is their message:

Why are Pittsburgh’s working families still losing out in this economy?

We bailed out the big banks and corporations when they were struggling. But now corporations are making out with multi-million dollar profits and paying low taxes, if any at all.

Before our public schools and colleges are shut down, before we lose one more bus route, before unemployment benefits are cut – we’re going to make rich corporations like General Electric, Comcast and Marcellus Shale drillers like Exxon pay their fair share.

• Good Jobs: We can build a city where everyone who wants to work gets a good job – one that pays a family-sustaining wage, provides health insurance and respects workers’ rights on the job.
• Strong Communities: We’re standing up for good schools, excellent public transit, affordable higher education and housing for all.
• Corporate Accountability: There’s more than enough money in Pittsburgh for everyone to have a good job, decent wages and the public services they need. It’s time for corporations and the rich to do their part.

Together we can do what we cannot do alone.  We’re standing up for a city that works for all.  Join us. →
