Sweeney comes out swinging / Labor leader criticizes efforts to solve America's job crisis By George Raine, SF Chronicle
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney in a speech Friday in San Francisco assailed President Bush's response to the American job crisis, one in which 15 million unemployed and underemployed Americans are competing for good jobs that are rapidly moving overseas.
'What are we doing to help workers who've been folded, spindled and mutilated by the 'new global economy?' ' he asked in a speech before the Commonwealth Club of California. 'What are we doing to make sure our returning troops have good jobs? To make sure our children have good jobs? The answer is, 'Not much,' ' said Sweeney.------------------------------------------- posted 11:25 AM :: reference link ::
