AFL-CIO 'Kentucky River' Week of Action

Workers across the country joined together to demand that Bush’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) do its job and protect workers’ rights during the AFL-CIO union movement’s July 10 week of action. More than 1,500 workers in Washington, D.C., protested at the NLRB's door. See photos from the D.C. rally. In recent months, the labor board has systematically taken away workers’ rights and is poised to bar millions more workers from belonging to a union. Find out more here.
