Washington, D.C. — On Wednesday, November 30, at 9:30 a.m., the AFL-CIO, American Rights at Work, and the Center for American Progress Action Fund will host a special forum to detail what’s really at stake with the attacks on the National Labor Relations Board, or NLRB. This key agency, charged with ensuring workplace rights, is facing an unprecedented assault from partisan politicians and the top 1 percent. Elected leaders, academics, and experts will discuss how corporate interests are trying to eliminate the rights and protections that ensure the 99 percent a fair shake in the workplace—and what working people will do to push back.
