Statement by AFL-CIO President John Sweeney on Union Movement Support for John Kerry
 

WASHINGTON - July 27 - John Kerry is going to be a great president for working families. His support for workers’ rights and workers’ priorities is strong. As president, he will not only reverse the policies and direction of the Bush administration that have cost working people so much, he will put policies and programs into place that will help working families more than those of any administration in recent history.

The labor movement has never been more united or working harder for a presidential candidate. We have put together the biggest grassroots effort ever and, to a union, we will work our hearts out to elect John Kerry.
