The stakes have never been higher for union members as wealthy extremists are funding legislation and taking radical legal action to weaken labor unions, exacerbate income inequality, and make it harder for working people to pay the bills and support their families.

Several area labor unions joined members of Teamsters Local 117 on Saturday to discuss these issues and to put together a plan to preserve our wages and benefits and build a stronger union and a better future for ourselves and our communities. 

"Los sindicatos luchan por la clase media", dijo Vicki Moore, un representante del Local 117 en las elecciones del condado de King, que participó en el evento. "Me di cuenta de que en mi vida, cada vez es más difícil mantener la clase media y los sindicatos refuerzan a las familias y a la gente como yo."
