President Obama Delivers Hope & Vision for Working Americans

Minnesota AFL-CIO President Shar Knutson issued the following statement in response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address:

“For the millions of Americans still feeling the pain of Wall Street’s greed; President Obama’s State of the Union address was a sign of hope.

“President Obama laid out a new vision for an America that builds on our economic recovery and once again opens up opportunities for everyone, not just corporate special interests and the richest 1%.

“Americans deserve an economy that rewards hard work with wages and benefits that can support a family and rewards employers who create those jobs.

“It’s time for Congress to put aside partisan warfare and work with the President in building an America that works for everyone.”
