Ed Ramthun AFSCME Indianapolis, Indiana - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - June 24, 1998 -- A Day to Make Our Voices Heard On June 24 working women and men in communities coast to coast will stand together to improve the future of our communities, our jobs and our lives. We'll tell the country that today's unions are the way we get the chance to win better living standards, build our communities and balance runaway corporate power. And we'll note the reality: Our employers routinely declare war when we choose to join together in a union. We'll hold hearings and forums that uncover this secret war of firings, humiliation, isolation and division, as well as activities to support local organizing campaigns. We'll tell the stories of our aspirations and successes and heartaches as we try to make our lives better by joining together in unions only to have fight forced on us. We'll have activities that expose the employers who don't respect our choices and our right to organize. We'll honor those employers that do respect our choices, our jobs and our communities. We'll involve co-workers, neighbors, elected leaders, community leaders, news media and businesses. We'll make our voices heard. You have a voice. Make it heard.
