Tell the Senate to Reign in Wall Street
We Need Financial Reform!
The greedy and reckless behavior of big Wall Street banks, credit card companies, and mortgage lenders caused a financial crisis that cost Americans lost housing wealth, millions of jobs, billions in tax-payer funded bailouts and trillions in lost college and retirement savings. The Senate is currently working on financial reform legislation. We need new rules that will protect working families and small businesses by reining in the greedy, reckless behavior of big banks on Wall Street. This is a critical time to call your Senator and tell them to put an end to the abuses that led to the financial crisis. CALL YOUR SENATOR TODAY AT 866-544-7573!

WI- Pass School Conference Leave
We had a great meeting last Saturday and we're so proud to announce the start of the new 9to5 Milwaukee board. Thanks everyone who voted and ran in this last month's election. Check out the new board here. Here's a quick action TODAY that we wanted to share with everyone. Many working parents have limited or no flexibility to take time off work. School Conference leave is a family flexible work policy to enable working parents and guardians to take a little time to attend a child's educational activities. It's up on the Assembly floor this Tuesday! Can you take a minute today to be part of the solution? Let’s pass the School Conference and Activity Leave Bill. Call your WI State Rep TODAY on the switchline and ask for your State Assembly person: 1800-362-9472 Tell them you are a voter and you support bill number AB116, School Conferences and Activities Leave. Ask for their support. The School Conference and Activity Leave Bill would enable parents to more actively participate in their children’s education. This bill allows any parent working at a business with at least 50 employees to take up to 16 hours of unpaid leave in a 12-month period to support their child’s scholastic development. This is a solution that supports parental involvement without increasing the cost of doing business. If you have time, call back and ask for your State Senator (where it will go to if it passes the Assembly on Tuesday). And thanks from working parents and guardians across our great state! Thanks for all you do! all the best, 9to5 Milwaukee team
