About The American Workers Union





The American Workers Union (TAWU) is the single place to capture the voice of American Workers. While newspapers, magazines, eZines, and eLetters do their share to let the voice of American Workers be heard, this is the resource where all of our voices can be shared.



The only dues to join TAWU is your voice. The only requirements are:


-you are or have been an American Worker that lives in the United States of America

-you earn or earned wages

-you pay or paid taxes to federal, state and/or local governments

-you agree to be respectful in your posts and avoid foul language



TAWU's intent is to capture, record, categorize and share the voices of American Workers. This collective repository of our voices will be shared with business, industry, media outlets, and all levels of government to ensure the voice of American Workers is heard clearly and accurately.



TAWU is non-partisan and biased only towards the advancement of the state of the American Worker. All unions and all union workers are embraced, as are all part and full-time workers outside of union membership. This is not a traditional union. It exists in name only, but represents the collective voice of all American Workers.



If you're employed, unemployed, an executive or laborer, retired or just beginning to work, share your voice now to protect the future of American Workers. All topics related to working in America are welcome.


Remember, this blog welcomes the voice of all unions and union workers, as well as non-union workers. It is truly intended for all workers to share their thoughts, ideas, feelings, opinions, frustrations, and solutions.

What's in Obama's middle-class plan for you?

Check out the story...but most importantly, the comments.  That's why this site was built.  Let's start venting here, in one place, where we can capture all of our voices and get them heard by our bretheren far and wide.  Maybe, just maybe, then we'll see change we can believe in.

Obama's Middle Class Plan

Outsourcing and Demeaning the Workers

From a friend, check out these sites that will generate discussions because they always have topics related to the plight of us workers.

Who Rules?

They RuleHaving grown up in the 60s and 70s, "The Establishment" was the enemy.  It represented all that was wrong with the U-S.  Maybe this site shows us why.  Check out the Board of Directors of our major companies and how interlocked the boys and girls are.

Although it's far more sweeping than that...like the government-miltary-industrial complex...which this site doesn't portray.  Dated in 2004, I'm hoping an update to the site will happen soon.  It will be curious to see the incestuous relationships of those in "companies too big to fail" and the other "rulers."


And I'd love to see someone expand this to include the relationship of these people to higher education and how many sit on the boards of colleges and universities...and let's go one step further, how they interact and connect with congress and the administration.
