Lenny Sapozhnikov, AFL-CIO deputy state director for Pennsylvania, sends us this report from the field.
Union leaders and members came out in droves in recent days to mark Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s arrival in Pennsylvania and draw the public's attention to his record of voting against the labor movement and against the middle class.
Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President William George unveiled the campaign on a media call with several radio stations on Thursday.
John McCain's voting record is 88 percent of the time he's voted with George Bush. Pennsylvania, since the beginning of NAFTA, has lost 1.2 million jobs and in the last six years, we’ve lost over 220,000 jobs in the state of Pennsylvania to these bad trade policies.
