USW President Gerard Sets the Record Right on Employee Free Choice Act
It’s awfully hard to find accurate and fair descriptions of unions, their leaders and issues in the mainstream media. Clichés and stereotypes that just won’t die far too often substitute for fair reporting or analysis.
That’s why yesterday’s in-depth profile of United Steelworkers (USW) President Leo Gerard in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was so refreshing. In addition, Gerard’s appearance Friday on “Bill Moyers Journal” on PBS was a great rebuttal to the many ill-informed, slanted or just down-right lies about the Employee Free Choice Act filling the airwaves and news columns.
Post-Gazette reporter Ann Belser explores Gerard’s deep commitment to working hard for working families and the union on issues such as universal health care and getting the economy back on track.
