White House Targets Worker Rights

The Bush administration and its Republican allies in the Senate put worker rights squarely in its crosshairs as debate opens on Homeland Security issues. Bush wants to strip away basic rights enjoyed by some 170,000 workers who will be affected by the bill. Bush says he will veto any bill that maintains workers collective bargaining rights and civil service protections. The Senate version, authored by Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-CT, does just that.

You can urge your senators to protect these basic rights by sending an ‘Action Alert’ email message at the Politics and Legislation section of http://goiam.org/politics.asp or call the Capitol switchboard at 202 224-3121.
