A Letter From John Sweeney To The Senate

Ripped from Working Life, by Jonathan Tasini

I've just been given a letter that John Sweeney is sending today to every Senator. Here it it is.

It makes all the right points, with this being the key nut graf:

It proposes a grant of unlimited authority to the Bush Administration to spend $700 billion of the public's money to prop up whomever they wish on Wall Street, without any rules or independent oversight. It does nothing for families facing foreclosure or for working people hit hard by the economy, and it does nothing to hold those who caused this crisis accountable.

Good on Sweeney.

I would just hope, now, that we also move to what I've been suggesting for the past couple of days--a show of massive force in the streets.

In the United States today, a worker is fired or discriminated against for trying to form a union every 23 minutes. This is a major reason that every worker should support the Employee Free Choice Act.

According to a survey from Peter D. Hart Research Associates 57 million people say they would join a union if they had a chance. But in todays America, employers routinely fire, harass, intimidate and coerce workers who try to exercise their right to form a union at work.

Why anti-union.blogspot.com ?

This site is dedicated to Lawyer/PR man, Rick Berman, who works as a lobbyist for the corporate war against unions and the working class. His MO is to start websites who falsely claim to be factual and through truth, half truth and out right lies, misinform the public, unions are not his first campaign and I'm sure it will not be his last.

Heres an interview from 60 Minutes and a Full Story I wrote.
