Executive Council: Detroit Bankruptcy Must Not Impoverish Workers, Retirees
Detroitās bankruptcy filing āmust not be used as a tool to impoverish city of Detroit workers or retirees,ā says the AFL-CIO Executive Council, in a statement from its July meeting.
City workers already have made severe concessions to keep the city afloat. They are not to blame for Detroitās financial problems, yet they have been making sacrifices all along the way to help the city outā¦.The AFL-CIO will continue to support our city of Detroit active and retired members in their fight to maintain dignity on the job, a safe workplace, fair wages and benefits for their labor, and against cuts in the pensions they have paid for and earned.
