AFL-CIO to Stick Only to Domestic Issues In Ambitious Election Campaign for 2004
The AFL-CIO Executive Council, at its meeting in Chicago on Aug. 5-6, decided to continue its virtually unbroken silence about events in Afghanistan, the Middle East and the war in Iraq. At a press conference, AFL-CIO’s political director Karen Ackerman stated that organized labor would have the “biggest ever” campaign to defeat President George Bush in the 2004 elections. But in response to reporters’ questions, she said that the AFL-CIO campaign would focus exclusively on domestic issues.
In sponsoring its widely-acclaimed forum for the nine Democratic presidential candidates at Chicago’s Navy Pier, the AFL-CIO asked them to respond to five domestic issues of critical importance to working families, but it pointedly eliminated any question dealing with the war on terrorism, homeland security or the war in Iraq.
