Since Sliced Bread

Award-winning solutions for today's crucial issues.

America's working families have been struggling for decades, but the creative, can-do spirit that has served the country well in the past is alive and well, even if it is lacking in so many of our so-called leaders. The Service Employees International Union, known as the most aggressive voice for working Americans,went to the people to find out what's wrong and what can be right in our economy and politics.

The result is a collection of smart, concise, and achievable ideas for solving the big problems that face society at home and even around the world. These proposals represent paradigm shifts. Their optimism is infectious. It is possible to combat global warming, to provide good quality and affordable health care to everyone, to shore up Social Security without giveaways to the finance industry, to promote small-business entrepreneurship, to improve education at all age levels.

Proposed by regular people from coast to coast and all walks of life, the ideas in Since Sliced Bread are a wakeup call to policymakers and citizens alike that, when the people lead, the leaders will follow.
