The White House: Labor Leaders' "Home Away From Home"
Last week we told you that “Organized Labor certainly has the ‘ear’ of this Administration.” We didn’t know how right we were.
On Friday, the Obama Administration published a partial list of visitors who have visited the White House. Andy Stern, President of Service Employees International Union (SEIU), visited 22 times, more than any other single individual on the list. Additionally, newly-elected President of the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumka, visited 7 times.
There is no doubt that Vice President Biden meant it when he said to a group of Labor leaders only 10 days after President Obama’s inauguration “Welcome back to the White House!”
