Unions rally aims to reverse declines By Tom Ramstack
"I think the Bush administration has shown itself time and time again to be antiworker," Miss Windham said.
The Bush administration denies the accusation.
"The administration is committed to working with anyone who wants to work to advance the president's agenda for creating an environment where jobs can be created for American workers," said Claire Buchan, White House spokeswoman.
Labor Department spokes-man Ed Frank said, "The Department of Labor is not here to be pro-union or pro-business. We're here to be pro-worker."
Nevertheless, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney has said his political strategy for the next presidential election is to replace President Bush with a Democratic rival.
Mr. Sweeney criticizes the Bush administration for proposed changes in overtime laws he says would strip eight million hourly workers of overtime pay. The Bush administration disagrees, saying the changes would extend overtime pay to 1.3 million more low-wage workers.------------------------------------------- posted 10:24 PM :: reference link ::
