Change To Win: Labor Will Make Sure Politicians Work To Restore American Dream

By Doug Cunningham

The Change To Win labor federation’s Chair, Anna Burger, says the very hard work that union volunteers put in for months has paid off to elect leaders who say they will fight to make work pay. But she says the work for change is far from over. Change To Win activists, Burger says, will be watching these new leaders to make sure they do their part to restore the American Dream - a paycheck that supports a family, affordable health care, a secure retirement and most of all, a better life for our kids."

Labor fielded the biggest voter mobilization it’s ever done and was the single largest organized election effort nationwide. The AFL-CIO spent $40 million and other big unions spent tens of millions each on their own to produce this elections victory for Democrats. The focus now will be on advancing the working family agenda.
