“It’s Like When a Hurricane Hits”

Unemployed Working America and union members met for a Table Talk this week and told their stories to Congressman Gary Peters and Michigan AFL-CIO President Saundra Williams.

In response to the powerful stories told by the jobless workers, Congressman Peters said,

“Providing unemployment to folks now is an emergency situation. It’s like when a hurricane hits, we ask questions about paying for it and other things after we get the help to people to make sure their lives can stay together.”
