Tomorrow, Georgia voters go to the polls to vote in the runoff election for U.S. Senate. AFL-CIO-endorsed Jim Martin is in a close contest with anti-worker incumbent Sen. Saxby Chambliss in a race that could determine the ability to pass a pro-working family agenda in 2009 and beyond.
Union volunteers are putting in long hours and mobilizing around the state to get out the vote in the Senate runoff. If Martin wins, he'll be the 59th pro-worker vote in the Senate, providing a critical voice for policies that will rebuild America's middle class and strengthen the economy. Chambliss would continue to stand in the way of progress on health care, job creation and the Employee Free Choice Act.
The 2009 AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday observance is set for Jan. 15-19 in New Orleans, days before our first African American president is sworn in. What better time to celebrate the life and work of Dr. King?
