The president of the Ohio chapter of the AFL-CIO, the largest trade union in the United States, is sending “get out the vote” emails to an email address that closed before the last presidential election. Either the AFL-CIO ignored bounces from early 2008 through late 2009, is sending email to a list that has not been contacted since that period, or has purchased a list. The ESP was Salsalabs, the ESP side of liberal U.S. political activist group Wired for Change.

*Who Voted Against Worker Freedoms?
*

Let’s not forget the politicians who looked to strip away worker rights with the stroke of a pen with Senate Bill 5/Issue 2. Below is a list of Senators and Representatives who voted YES on SB5/Issue 2. Remember their names for the 2012 elections.

In Solidarity,

*”Tim Burga, “*”
Ohio AFL-CIO President
