AFL-CIO protesters to follow McCain around

[ariesgem]

WASHINGTON -- The AFL-CIO said Wednesday that it would have union protesters follow GOP presidential nominee-in-waiting John McCain around the country to demand explanations of his positions on economic and labor issues.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Everywhere John McCain goes in the coming months, union activists will be there to confront him on his economic positions and plans and demand that he speak to working families' concerns," said Karen Ackerman, the AFL-CIO's political director.

At the same time, the website "will expose Sen. McCain's record" and "complete his profile to include his unwavering support of George Bush's failed economic agenda, and call on him to adopt instead working-family policies that offer a clean break from that agenda," Ackerman said.

The Republican National Committee immediately called on Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton to denounce the AFL-CIO campaign, calling it "partisan, old-style politics" and saying the Democrats in the past had criticized "special-interest spending."
