SEIU tells Bank of America: help workers or give back bailout money

 

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has launched a campaign to hold Bank of America accountable. Taxpayers have given Bank of America $25 billion in bailout funds to help jump start the economy, which the bank has misspent on executive salaries and corporate jets. Shamelessly, Bank of America took even more money from cash-strapped states by not paying for workers’ health care.
 
SEIU is insisting that Bank of America use its taxpayer-funded windfall to support a real economic recovery and provide health care for its 247,000 workers—or give the money back.
 
Watch the video below then you can click here and tell Bank of America to:
 
  • Keep over 12,000 troubled borrowers in their homes with executive bonus money
  • End the practice of unilaterally changing credit cardholder agreements.
  • Sign new leases with renters who live in buildings that are being foreclosed upon.
  • Commit to providing affordable health care to all of its employees and their dependents.
  • Strictly enforce whistleblower protections to workers who report bank fraud and predatory practices
