Change to Win: America's Endangered Middle Class

[Omaha Steve]

The American middle class is struggling under the weight of low wages, long hours and fewer benefits. As Wisconsin can attest, wages, benefits and collective bargaining for workers are under threat like never before. The events in Madison have sparked a new national conversation on the role of unions and the labor movement in American society. A newly published Special Report entitled “America’s Endangered Middle Class” contains analysis and reporting on conservative and corporate efforts to curb the strength of the labor movement and middle-American progress.

The middle-class crisis is emerging as the number one economic issue that our country is facing. With misguided policies and false solutions on both sides of the debate, this special report provides some sobering analysis for where we are heading and what we can do to reverse the three-decade decline of wages and worker rights.

We invite you to read this special report, produced by The American Prospect Magazine and the public policy organization, Demos.

As a nation, we are facing a watershed moment for the middle class and worker rights. This smart and insightful analysis clearly lays out the problem. Join us in working towards real solutions and shared prosperity.

In solidarity,

Tom Woodruff, Executive Director, Change to Win
