Bush to US Workers: Sink or Swim

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

 

"America’s workers are drowning in a perfect storm of job loss, skyrocketing health care costs and disappearing retirement security," said AFL-CIO President John Sweeney last week after the State of the Union address, “but President Bush failed to provide them so much as a raft.”  Added Sweeney, “The president’s lofty rhetoric means little to working people who are struggling to survive in a climate that’s become increasingly hostile to them.  The president had an opportunity to present America’s workers with a bold and aggressive plan to set our country on a new course.  Sadly, it was yet another opportunity this president squandered.
