Bonior-Chaired Group Launches EFCA Push
A labor advocacy group chaired by former Rep. David Bonior (D-Mich.), a prominent member of President-elect Barack Obama’s economic transition team, will launch a national TV ad campaign Sunday pushing for passage of the controversial Employee Free Choice Act.
American Rights at Work released its TV ad today. It will air nationwide on CNN, MSNBC, CNN Headline News, and locally on major network affiliates during Sunday talk shows, according to the group.
The group says it will launch a print and online ad campaign the following week.
Labor groups are hopeful they can push the bill through in 2009 with an expanded Democratic majority. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) was the only Republican to vote for the bill in 2007.
Bonior, who chairs American Rights at Work, had this to say in the press release announcing the ad:
