How does the rest of Labor feel abut Obama?
We in the teachers' unions think he's an... well... Obamanation.

Give me a broader perspective. Perhaps I'm in need of one.

1. The perspective would be based on what each person knows about his actions
pertaining to labor issues.

Those that keep up to date on it will say he has done a good job. Not perfect but much much better than any scumbag Republican would.

Most labor union members are not aware of the whole picture or that pertaining to labor issues.

3. Labor Dept, OSHA, ...


#2 in OSHA (Jordan Barab) is the former director of safety at my international AFSCME.

Recess appointment to the NLRB stopped the just say NO to Obama nominations there.

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis

More $ for more OSHA inspectors. The State of Ne. has only 5 of them.

Mine safety gets new rules and more money.

Those off the top of my head.
