At February 17, 2009 press conference at the Chicago Federation of Labor USAction President William McNary, along with Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL) and SEIU Illinois President Tom Balanoff, spoke up & out for Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).
Progress Illinois writes:
Later in the day, around 3,000 riled up rank-and-file members filled the Plumbers Hall to hear from national leaders such as Change to Win’s Anna Burger and ALF-CIO President John Sweeney, as well as an array of Illinois labor leaders and elected officials. McNary had this to say to the enthusiastic crowd: "We didn’t start this fight. We didn’t ask for this fight. But if it’s a fight they want, it’s a fight they’ll get. Knuckle up."
