 Members of the Transport Workers could lose jobs because of Romney’s Bain & Co.—and they’re fighting back. |
President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address
showed the president “listened to the single mom working two jobs
to get by, to the out-of-work construction worker” and made clear
that the era of the 1 percent getting rich by looting the
economy, rather than creating jobs, is over. But Obama alone
can’t fix the economy: “Now it’s time for Congress to stop
standing in the way of rebuilding our country and act,” said
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.

 Eight California carwashes agreed to a historic $1 million back pay settlement for routinely failing to pay carwash workers minimum wage or overtime and other violations. |
Two Oklahoma workers told an Indiana press conference
that since the Sooner State passed a so-called right to work
(RTW) bill in 2001, wages have fallen and the promised new jobs
never materialized. “There is absolutely no anecdotal or
empirical evidence that RTW has benefited Oklahoma’s state
economy in any way,” said Jesse Isbell, who lost his job of 36
years after his tire plant was shut down and the jobs were
shipped to Mexico in 2006.

With shouts of “shame” echoing through the statehouse, a

a five-minute “charade” of a hearing before passing a so-called
right to work bill by an 8-5 vote. Not only were Democrats barred
from offering any amendments, no discussion of the bill was
allowed.

 Indiana workers continue to make their voices heard as the Republican-controlled state legislature attempts to ram through a “right to work” for less bill. |
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) today urged the
Indiana state legislature to reject a so-called right to work
bill. “As Indianapolis proudly prepares to host the Super Bowl,”
says the union, “it should be a time to shine in the national
spotlight and highlight the hardworking families that make
Indiana run instead of launching political attacks on their basic
rights.”

In a move to overcome Senate Republican obstruction
tactics that have stalled hundreds of vital nominations,
President Obama used recess appointments to name three new
members to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Republicans
had vowed to block NLRB nominees to keep the board from
functioning. After Jan. 1, the NLRB had just two current members,
and without new appointees, it would not have been able to carry
out most business.

While Indiana working families are mobilizing to fight a
proposed “right to work” for less bill, more evidence is mounting
that backers are using distorted and misleading information to

“completely without scientific foundation.”

Indiana is the first 2012 battleground for working
people. Republican lawmakers are rushing to ram through a “right
to work” for less bill and have gone so far as to stifle dissent
by limiting the number of citizens allowed in the statehouse to
make their voices heard. Meanwhile, a new report from University
of Notre Dame economist Marty Wolfson reveals the lies behind the
so-called right to work propaganda machine.
