Oh, those pesky unions and their support for the American working class. The benefits from Unions are everywhere, but the Republican’t noise machine hates that sort of thing.

“Benefits – meh – benefits aren’t for the top 1% of Americans! Those are the only folks who should benefit from governmental/private sector assistance!”.

If you’re unemployed, the AFL-CIO has a few resources for you.

From AFL-CIO

When we launched the Unemployment LifeLine, it had information about more than 50,000 resources for unemployed people. Since then, the LifeLine has kept growing—we’ve added more than 10,000 food banks, health clinics, senior centers and aid organizations. Now we’re adding a whole new kind of resource—live people.

Every day, the Unemployment LifeLine’s “Ask an Expert” will feature a community services staffer visiting the LifeLine’s discussion forums to answer your questions and give advice for your situation. We know that’s important because everyone’s situation is unique; there are no one-size-fits-all solutions.
