Good jobs, health care, retirement security and education—these are top priorities for America's working families. But President Bush supports new tax breaks for companies shipping jobs overseas.

His administration has revised wage-and-hour law to take overtime pay away from workers in a wide variety of jobs.

He has blocked or rolled back measures to protect workers on the job, shortchanged our children's schools, wants to privatize Social Security and pushed for a Medicare drug law that will cost millions of seniors and people with disabilities more.
