On Wednesday, March 24, 2010, the Bergen County and Passaic County Central Labor Councils will join working families in front of Bank of America in Hackensack to demand good jobs now. America needs 11 million jobs and big Wall Street banks should pay to rebuild jobs and the economy they helped destroy.

The rally will be held from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm in front of Bank of America at 210 Main Street in Hackensack, NJ.

Big Wall Street banks helped cause the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, homes and retirement savings. But in 2009, the biggest Wall Street banks gave their execs $145 billion in pay and bonuses.

The six largest Wall Street banks received $165 billion in taxpayer bailouts, with Bank of America. After receiving a bailout with the people's money, Bank of America gave over $29.9 million in pay to its President Thomas K. Montag and spent over $3.7 million on lobbying to kill financial reform.

We are calling on Bank of America and Wall Street to

Stop refusing to pay their fair share to restore jobs
Stop fighting financial reform
Start lending to our communities, small businesses and others starved for creditJoin the Bergen County Central Trades and Labor Council and the Passaic County Central Labor Council on March 24 in our fight for good jobs. The time has come for Bank of America and Wall Street to pay for repairing the economy they helped destroy.

Let us know you'll be there to fight for good jobs. Register here.
