Reject Scalia for Labor Secretary
From the AFL-CIO
Eugene Scalia, the nominee for secretary of labor, has spent his entire career making life more difficult and dangerous for working people. The AFL-CIO opposed him in 2002 for solicitor of labor based on his anti-worker record. He has fought ergonomics standards, threatened to destroy workers’ retirement savings, challenged the expansion of health care and dismissed repetitive injuries as “junk science.” The secretary of labor needs to be a true advocate for working people. Scalia’s views are dangerously outside the mainstream and leave us no choice but to oppose his nomination.
