AFL-CIO targets John McCain as 'anti-worker'

I'm sure the workers at Boeing would agree.

But McCain has his priorities: Lobbyists first, America second.

No morals, they were absolved by his high sage, Lieberman. Make no mistake folks, this man is corrupt to the core.

Isn't it anti-worker for a Union to force workers to contribute money to political causes many (most?) workers don't believe in?

Oh now that's really going to sell!! McCain is ant-worker??? Unions are so primitive! They are still living in the 1970's. What was McCain suppose to do...create a no-bid contract? Then you would criticize him for being corrupt!

Wow what a shock!

I can't believe the AFL CIO would do such a thing.

If they say it, it must be true

I'm not surprised by this in the least, afterall John W McBush's whole Presidential campaign platform is based on-

-Less jobs and More Wars:

In fact it is true John D...I mean JD.

Just a response to the NO Bid comment. You mean like the Haliburton NO BID DEAL!
McCain just derailed his presidency with the news of his involvement with the tanker purchase. He should of staye out of it.

Galen, there was a bid in the tanker deal... and Northrup Grumman/Airbus's was the low one. McCain insured we wouldn't pay Boeing and its jailed former CFO too much. You do realize just how much corruption was involved in the original Boeing deal, don't you? Boeing's former CFO and an Air Force are in jail because of it. Isn't it a shame that no one else in our federal government even made a whimper?

McCain hit the nail on the head today when he said American unions can't blame NAFTA for all their problems. Manufacturing output is setting all time records. We're just not paying $58 an hour for UAW guys in Detroit to push brooms or half that to hang out at the "job bank" anymore.

Being called anti-worker by them is a badge of honor. Half their membership left the organization last year because of the corruption at the top. If you want a voice in who your union supports and how the top guys spend your money, don't join this outfit.

Galen, I'm going to take Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington's opinion on what McCain did in the tanker deal and not yours.

They have, how do you say, credibility. You should get some of that. You don't have any.

Perhaps you meant to sign off as George Pullman?

Funny, Andy Stern just accused the California Nurses Association of being a union-buster that doesn't care about workers. I guess anti-union and anti-worker means you don't support whichever union or group of unions is doing the name-calling.

Unions are horrible corrupt organizations, and McCain is a horrible corrupt person and both are wrong on how best to generate more workers in this country.

The AFL-CIO has not really thought out the implication of endorsing any presidential candidate. Whether the union black lists McCain; not even Hillary or Obama are truly on the American workers side? All three Senators are still going to promote the unfettered immigration of anybody who can steal across our border. With an already estimated 12 to 20 million illegal foreign workers here, are they not going to be give them equal status as citizens and permanent residents? That means prior illegal aliens and citizen workers are going to be fighting for fewer jobs. It might seem like a grand avenue for the AFL-CIO and other unions to supplement there workers dues. But it will certainly not be to the hundreds of thousands of citizens without a jobs, but a boon to predator employers!
