Triumph of hope in USA
On behalf of LHMU members LHMU National Secretary, Louise Tarrant, welcomes the historic election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.
“This is an exciting day for working people around the world. The election today of Barack Obama is a vote for the values of Main Street over Wall Street. It’s a vote for hope over cynicism and disengagement. It’s a vote for health care, workers’ rights, environmental responsibility and international peace,” says Tarrant.
“I know that many US cleaners, aged care workers, childcare workers and health care workers worked long and hard in recent months to get Barack Obama into the White House so that these issues become centre stage in American politics."
