Labor’s Role in 2004 Elections Is Limited LaborTalk By Harry Kelber
Is labor’s role in this election simply to supply money and volunteers and keep silent on some of the issues that most concern working people? In the many months that the issues of this election have been debated, where were our AFL-CIO leaders? Why have the officers of the big international unions remained tongue-tied? Why couldn’t they appear at press conferences and talk shows and town halls to voice labor’s concerns and suggest solutions?
Why couldn’t AFL-CIO President John Sweeney get Kerry to say that one of his first acts as president would be to rescind the new Labor Department rules that deny overtime pay to millions of workers?------------------------------------------- posted 7:15 AM :: reference link ::
