RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF
THE “OCCUPY WALL ST./ BOSTON MOVEMENT

THE MASSACHUSETTS AFL-CIO OFFERS ITS FULL SUPPORT TO THE OCCUPT WALL ST./OCCUPY BOSTON MOVEMENT.

THE CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH IN THE UNITED STATES THREATENS OUR HOMES, OUR EDUCATION, OUR STATES AND CITIES AND TOWNS. THE WALL ST. BANKS AND THE LARGEST CORPORATIONS REFUSE TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES WHILE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE CRUMBLES. THEY SIT ON RECORD PROFITS WHILE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY SUFFERS, AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO PUT PEOPLE BACK TO WORK. DECENT, FAMILY SUPPORTING JOBS ARE BECOMING A THING OF THE PAST AS CORPORATIONS CUT WAGES, PENSIONS, AND HEALTH CARE BENEFITS AND EVEN OUR RIGHT TO COLLECTIVELY BARGAIN—OUR VOICE ON THE JOB.

WE SALUTE THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN THESE ISSUES TO THE STREETS AND TO THE PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE OCCUPATION OF
WALL ST. AND NOW BOSTON. YOU SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER—AND YOU SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS.

WE JOIN THE OCCUPY WALL ST. MOVEMENT IN THE COMMON FIGHT TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE THOSE WHO LIVE OFF OUR LABOR. WE URGE ALL OUR AFFILIATED LOCAL UNIONS TO HELP PARTICIPATE AND HELP OUT IN ANY WAY THAT THEY CAN.

WE, TOO, ARE THE 99%!

MASSSACHUSETTS AFL-CIO

Big news! The Massachusetts Teachers Associations (MTA) has a wonderful new post on their website expressing their solidarity with Occupy Boston and similar protests. Laura Barrett of the MTA’s Division of Communications visited Dewey Square on Tuesday afternoon to share the news. Solidarity!
