YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) will host a forum Wednesday, April 15th at 2:30 pm EST on how the federal government can create good jobs as millions of Americans go on strike around the country. America’s elected leaders and CEOs are finally waking up to the reality that a low-wage economy – in which many workers can’t afford the basic necessities of life and are forced to rely on public aid to survive – isn’t good for working families or the economy. The Progressive Caucus forum will highlight model employers in order to show that real-world alternatives to a business model reliant on poverty-jobs are possible.
