NCL agrees with President Obama, who stated that the attack on workers is an effort to “take away your rights to bargain for better wages or working conditions.”<\/p>\n Labor organizers are expecting thousands of people to arrive in Lansing, the state capitol, Tuesday for demonstrations in opposition to right-to-work legislation.<\/p>\n We support these workers and all working families in Michigan who are rightfully demonstrating against this odious anti-worker legislation that undermines the labor protections that working men and women have fought so long and so hard to win.<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n Photo courtesy AFL-CIO.<\/em><\/p>\n About the National Consumers League<\/strong><\/p>\n The National Consumers League, founded in 1899, is America’s pioneer consumer organization.
