Barbara Dudley is an organizer of the political party being formed to support a working families agenda in Oregon.</p> <p>[Barbara Dudley] : "It's not just about unions. It's issues relevant to all working families. The gap between rich and poor, as well all know, is growing, growing, growing. Working people often have to work more than one job to support their family. Pensions are disappearing, health care. So they need a party that's going to speak to those. And the Democratic Party has not been very good about focusing on those."</p> Political Parties Working Families Party Wed, 22 Feb 2006 17:08:17 -0800
