‘West Wing’ alums on the Hill Tues. to tout EFCA
If there was ever any doubt that fictional President Jed Bartlet’s administration was pro-labor, the answer is now clear.
Actors Martin Sheen, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Schiff — all of the fictional NBC presidential drama “The West Wing — will appear at an event in Congress on Tuesday seeking to bolster support for the Employee Free Choice Act (“card check”).
Sheen (President Jed Bartlet), Whitford (Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman), and Schiff (Communications Director Toby Ziegler) will meet with Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and other lawmakers in meetings on the Hill.
The event is being coordinated by organized labor groups, including American Rights at Work, AFL-CIO, and Change to Win.
