"Now that the Hire US, America plan is finalized, the next step is to secure its endorsement by state and federal candidates for office," said UCubed Acting Executive Director Rick Sloan. "UCubed leaders and jobs activists will be visiting campaign headquarters this summer and asking them to support the Hire US, America plan."
UCubed, is an IAM community service project designed to assist the millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans, and to provide them with a structure that allows them to take advantage of their growing numbers. For more information, visit:
