I also wanted the children to take action since their feelings were so raw and so compassionate about that woman s needs. I found a place where they could volunteer. Ideally, I wanted everyone in the family to understand the issue and feel they could be part of a solution. I have learned the value of unions from my husband. We think it s a fundamental right of the American worker to be able to join, to organize, to create unions.
Unions are good for America.
They re good for women, for working families, for all of us. They bring attention to things that would not be dealt with otherwise like safety issues and having a living wage. Unions are extremely important, particularly in fields like home care that are dominated by women. It s good to see the organizing efforts there. I also think unionizing is important for child care workers.
