To eliminate all the redundancy in this and the following two items we suggest replacing the three of them with:
ReplyDelete"To promote economic equality, we support federal and state laws guaranteeing workers the right to organize, to join a union of their choice, to bargain collectively, and to strike when necessary."
We strongly reaffirm this and support the Employee Free Choice Act.
ReplyDelete11] Employee Free Choice Act: The Democratic Party is in full support of the union organizing process as described in the Employee Free Choice Act. Corporations should have no say in the process of workers choosing to organize a union. Union and management get to meet as equals across the bargaining table.
ReplyDelete12] Single Payer Health Insurance: The Democratic Party supports the concept of single payer; that health insurance is a right of all individuals and should be made available via a federal funding and administrative entity such as that which administers Medicare or Social Security. Although in effect the insurance of health care would thus be "socialized" , thereby taking medical decision-making out of the hands of private profit seeking corporations, the system of delivery of medical care would remain intact.
