Chamber Of Commerce Targeted Today

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Workers, religious leaders, and community allies will rally outside the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon to push for “an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.” Saying that “Corporate CEOs and lobbyists are spending millions of dollars to stop President Obama from creating the change we voted for in November,” the 3P event is part of SEIU’s National Worker Mobilization for Employee Free Choice, which is bringing 350 union members to join local activists to Washington this week. The workers will also visit the offices of eight major corporate industry associations, including the Chamber, “to ask for a meeting with the groups' top officers and call on them to stop spending millions of dollars lobbying against common-sense legislative solutions to our economic crisis,” and attend a Senate hearing tomorrow at 10A.
