Video Clips: AFL-CIO’s Labor Day Press Briefing

Check out excerpts from the AFL-CIO’s Labor Day press briefing Aug. 30 by AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, AFL-CIO Political Director Karen Ackerman and pollster Guy Molyneaux, from Peter D. Hart Research Associates.

AFL-CIO President John Sweeney
“The president claims to have a faith-based approach to leadership. But that gives people of faith a bad name. His approach is fantasy-based, at best, and so it falls to us in this election season to wage a “reality-based campaign” that delivers the message: The country needs a change in leadership in order to get a much-needed change in direction.

AFL-CIO Political Director Karen Ackerman
“In 2004, they said the Republicans stole a page from labor’s playbook. Well, this year we’re launching the labor playbook, version 2.0, and the union vote will be the difference in key races across the country.”

Guy Molyneaux, Peter D. Hart Research Associates
“This is the first time since the early 1990s that Americans don’t believe things will be better for their children than it was for them.”
