Tell the House: Extend unemployment benefits! The UAW strongly supports American workers and their families. Sadly, right-wing Republicans in the House of Representatives have abandoned job seekers and allowed Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) benefits to expire on Dec. 28. More than 90 days after benefits lapsed, the Senate finally passed a bipartisan bill to restore emergency unemployment benefits for over 2.8 million Americans. No more excuses -- it is now time for House Republicans to act. Pick up the phone *TODAY* and call *(877) 363-6141* to tell your Representative that its time take up this bipartisan solution and extend unemployment benefits. * Failing to extend Emergency Unemployment Compensation has cut off benefits for more than 2.2 million job seekers, and 72,000 continue to lose benefits each week. * EUC assists those who have worked and have been looking for more than 26 weeks. These Americans should not continue to be punished, as the current average length of just over unemployment is 37 weeks. * The bill passed in the Senate is fully paid for; a true compromise that will help get job seekers back to work and strengthen our economic recovery so every American has a fair shot.afl.salsalabs/o/5892/unsubscribe.jsp?Email=dechols837@aol&email_blast_KEY=187790&organization_KEY=5892 UAW Solidarity House | 8000 East Jefferson Avenue Detroit, Michigan 48214 | p.
