In response to the "fiscal cliff" negotiations between President Obama and Republicans in Congress, U.S. Labor Against the War (USLAW), of which UE is a member organization, is promoting a rational, people-first solution to the federal budget. "Jobs Not War" is an online petition campaign to urge the president and Congress to abandon austerity solutions to the deficit and instead to end the war, cut military spending, tax the super-rich, and redirect resources to restore and protect the social safety net, create jobs, deal with climate change and meet other urgent social needs.
