The United Steelworkers believe that we cannot expect to starve our public education system and expect to get the same results. We have educators and workers in elementary and secondary schools, college and universities and in recent years, their jobs and livelihoods have come under attack. Most of us are thankful for the public school system and why it worked - because it was part of the community.
We’re taking a broad, ambitious view that includes rebuilding not only our physical infrastructure – like roads, bridges, ports and waterways – but also the social infrastructure of our schools, communications networks and public health services.
