Charlie Rose Interviews SEIU President Andy Stern

Where are we on the Employee Free Choice Act, reforming our healthcare system, rebuilding our country's economy and getting our banking system in line? Hear some of the answers in a wide-ranging interview SEIU President Andy Stern did on the Charlie Rose Show on PBS this week.



Andy discussed the impact of the economic crisis on American workers, including healthcare, predatory banking and credit card practices, employee free choice, education and what's needed to rebuild our country. Stern says in American history wealth has been distributed through the market, through government and through unions. Unions actually are "the only long-term anti-poverty program that actually worked."


He made the case for the role unions will play in reshaping our world in such a compelling and thoughtful way, we wanted to share the complete interview with you.
