Get Informed - Barack Obama and Joe Biden on the Issues
Senator Obama has been a strong ally of organized labor and of working families during the entire span of his career in politics. He is a co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act, possibly the most important piece of pro-worker legislation that has been created in the past decade. He has fought for universal health care, sensible trade deals, and ensuring that our seniors get the type of retirement that they deserve. Senator Obama has faced the difficult issues like the sagging economy and the housing crisis face-on, and has proactive approaches to resolving these issues and getting America back on track. Senator Obama has continually proved than he is dedicated to improving the lives of America's working families, earning himself a 100% labor voting record in 2007, and a lifetime labor voting record of 98%. Compare this to his Republican opponent, Senator John McCain who in 2007 had a 0% labor voting record!
