Tuesday's election "results, in which Democratic candidates across the board in both New Jersey and Virginia scored overwhelming victories over their Republican counterparts, signal a clear rebuke to the anti-worker, Union busting policies being promulgated by the Trump Administration."

This shutdown is now the longest in history, thanks to the Trump administration and their allies in Congress. They *could* fund the government and fix the health care crisis - but instead they’re prolonging the suffering of workers, just to break the Affordable Care Act.

“If you choose to proceed with replacement workers to complete these projects, you will be sacrificing the needs of the U.S. military in order to benefit the corporation’s bottom line,” the letter states. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
