Labor day has new meaning for struggling unions By Allyce Bess
Still, workers' rights groups across the nation say that this Labor Day has special significance. They say the White House is deaf to their concerns, putting at risk many gains unions have won over the years.
John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO, said he was disappointed that President George W. Bush had not offered to meet formally with him.
"The Bush administration is the most anti-worker administration … that we've seen in many years," Sweeney said in a telephone interview from his office in Washington. "We've had a better relationship with every administration, going back to Herbert Hoover."------------------------------------------- posted 7:17 AM :: reference link ::
