Compelling and eloquent testimony of veterans and the challenges they face in finding good jobs after they leave the service.

The veterans testify at a Veterans Town Hall meeting with Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis recently held in Los Angeles.
The Veterans Town Hall was sponsored by the Veterans Committee of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO.

Veterans call on Senator Dianne Feinstein of CA to support The Employee Free Choice Act, which would give them the right to join a union in the same way they joined the military - with their signature.

  • 14 trillion per year the dollars that pass from hand to hand every year (GDP). One half percent of 14 trillion equals 70 billion. Why do we leave those whom serve behind? Greed maybe. If a christian could give 10 pecent to a church. Why not the country give one quarter of one percent or half? Greed will make us the divided states. VETS ARE PEOPLE TO. Joe Bell says so.

  • That's my sister! She served in the Navy for 23 years! Love you Carolyn.

    I support the Employee Free Choice Act. Senator Feinstein support our VETERANS! SUPPORT the EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT!

  • Leaving the service might be hard. However, the most crucial part of being a soldier is facing the life after the service, unemployed and, in worst scenario, disabled without support.

  • Diane Feinstein I voted for you, please don't let my vote be a mistake. Support the Employee Free Choice Act now!

  • Veterans have put their lives on the line for us. Support our brave and honorable Veterans. Support the American Worker. Support your friends and families. Support the Employee Free Choice Act!

  • This was an amazingly moving video. I just called Senator Feinstein and her lines were busy. I pledge to continually call her office until she signs the support pledge.

  • why dont most people realise that unions are for the people, tne community, the future, not the other way around?

  • Damn straight! Let them join the union. Wake up Senator Feinstein!

  • "Same right to join a union like the same right I could join the army!"

    I support the Employee Free Choice Act and I support all American Veterans.
