We are pleased to be able to make available a far reaching talk by Leo Gerard, International President of the United Steelworkers (USW) delivered May 18th in New York City at an event sponsored by the Central Labor Council and other progressive organizations.

Gerard’s speech, “The Labor Movement and United Action for Health Care for All,” is an important statement by the leader of America’s largest industrial union.

A shortened version of the full speech was broadcast on the weekly radio show of AFSCME District Council 37 produced by Ken Nash on WNYE.

HR 676 has been endorsed by 141 union organizations including 24 central labor councils, two state AFL-CIO’s (KY and PA), and two area labor federations.
