Pressure Politics In Maine
The latest from the great Northeast:
Local and state union workers started a six-day tour of Maine on Wednesday morning at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, as part of a national effort to tell leaders in Congress to support the Employee Free Choice Act.
Standing before a mobile billboard featuring Maine workers E.J. Russell and Cecile Martin, the workers called specifically on Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, to back the bill. Neither senator has expressed support for the act.
The event is one of more than 300 actions nationwide organized during the congressional recess by supporters of the bill. The mobile billboard was leaving from Kittery to travel as far as Bangor in the next few days.
The Maine Senators have been great on this issue so far. It’s important to remember this fight is not over and it’s critical to keep in contact with all our elected officials.
