Union group protests outside McCain office
Wed, Aug 20, 2008 (2:33 p.m.)
HENDERSON, Nev. _ A labor coalition has staged a “foreclosure funeral” outside the Nevada headquarters of presidential candidate John McCain.
A group of union activists from the Change to Win coalition says the mock memorial was meant to draw attention to the Republican’s inadequate proposals to solve the housing crisis.
Culinary Union member Judy Bagley told the crowd, some dressed as grim reapers, that McCain had lost touch with working people.
McCain spokesman Rick Gorka says McCain has a plan to address the housing crunch and charged that Democrat Barack Obama’s tax plans would do harm to working-class people.
The Change to Win group is on a tour of battleground states. It planned to stop in Pahrump, Nev. on Thursday for a protest focused on McCain’s support of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository.

There’s nowhere like A labor coalition in Thursday. A labor coalition is perhaps the country to watch. If you are hiring A labor coalition then it can surely relief you of getting a better services.
