John J. Sweeney, President of the American Federation of Labor “Letter to the National and International Union Presidents.” AFL CIO. June 1st, 2005: “We are strongly supportive of the concept of legalization, recognizing that raising the floor for undocumented workers and bringing them out of the shadows will improve working conditions for all workers. We are also in agreement that if this bill moves forward, we will seek expand its labor protections considerably to ensure a positive outcome for all workers.”[1]
