Good Jobs Nation Rally and Press Conference

Join OUR DC and Good Jobs Nation at a rally and press conference tomorrow to highlight the plight of low-wage federal contract workers who are calling on the President to do more than the minimum, and issue a Good Jobs Executive Order (read about it in the Washington Post).  

TUESDAY, JULY 29 at 9am, UNION STATION
