Support Good Jobs Nation in sharing this message - Operation Thunderclap

https://www.thunderclap.it/en/projects/50862

We will post this one-time message to your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, account on
December 07 at 10:00AM EST.

Senator Bernie Sanders, Congressman Keith Ellison, Danny Glover and other worker champions will join striking federal contract workers in Washington, DC to hold Donald Trump accountable to workers.

The US government is America's #1 low wage job creator, funding over 2 million poverty jobs through contract with big corporations.

To make matters worse, federal contractors ship our jobs overseas and steal $2.5 billion from the pockets of these hard working Americans.

As the next CEO of America, we need to hold Trump accountable to his campaign promise - "Every policy decision we make must pass a simple test: Does it create MORE JOBS and BETTER WAGES for Americans?"

We need to make sure every single tax payer is invested in good companies that create good jobs in America, not firms that ship jobs overseas and steal from their workers.

Help us launch Good Jobs Defense, a new campaign sponsored by Our Revolution and Good Jobs Nation. We need an Army of Good Jobs Defenders!

Good Jobs Nation https://actionnetwork.org/groups/good-jobs-nation-2

We are workers who do important jobs for our nation. We pick and process food for school children, greet visitors at our National Parks, clean and safeguard government buildings, sew the uniforms for our troops, haul cargo to military bases, and even answer calls when people have questions about government benefits, like Social Security.

We are the workers who are employed by private companies through federal contracts, concessions and leases. Yet, while our employers reap billions of dollars in profits from taxpayers every year, we are paid such low wages that we are unable to afford basic needs such as food, clothing, and even rent.

We are uniting to call on the federal government to stop being America’s leading poverty job creator by paying us living wages and benefits. We are fighting to make America a Good Jobs Nation once again.
