Labor's Beef with Bush by Tom Robbins
After George W. Bush took office, some labor unions batted their eyes at the guy who, like it or not, was going to inhabit the Oval Office for the next four years. Leaders of the carpenters and Teamsters unions invited Dubya to their Labor Day picnics, and backed him on what they said would be job-creating efforts like letting the oil industry into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. But the bloom was long off the rose by this summer, when Bush pushed through rules that could end overtime compensation for some 6 million workers. As a result, organized labor, with a few isolated exceptions like the city's contract-hungry United Firefighters Association, has turned full throttle to the effort to elect John Kerry.------------------------------------------- posted 6:53 AM :: reference link ::
