Labor fights to preserve Davis-Bacon - By Elana Schor, The Hill
“I think this is a mean-spirited attack on the labor movement. The right wing has never been able to touch us in the legislative arena on Davis-Bacon. They saw an opportunity and took it,” said Don Kaniewski, political director for the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA).
The presidents of LIUNA, the carpenters union and the engineers union wrote to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) and House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) yesterday decrying the Davis-Bacon suspension. LIUNA and the carpenters belong to the new labor federation Change to Win, formed by unions seceded from the AFL-CIO, while the engineers remain AFL-CIO members.------------------------------------------- posted 5:05 AM :: reference link ::
