David Sirota's online magazine of news & commentary
(Reader comments now accepted at Working Assets)
USA Today has the scoop on the Bush administration's preparations to restrict/reduce the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act. Apparently, Corporate America isn't able to squeeze ordinary workers enough. Bush's Labor Department spokesman has the nerve to claim the law "can hurt profits" even though corporate profits are rising while wages are stagnating. Stay tuned - and keep an eye on whether Congress rebuffs the White House - or lets this happen.
I am the co-chairperson of the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN) - a position I took after finishing a stint as a fellow at the Center for American Progress. I am also a writer for Working Assets, and a twice-a-week guest on the Al Franken Show. I have just completed a book for Random House's Crown Publishers entitled "Hostile Takeover" - it will be released Spring 2006. I also write a bi-weekly section for the Nation Magazine called Permanent Minority vs. Towards the Majority about Democrats failures and successes. For more on what I do, see this Washington Post story about my blog, this Molly Ivins column about my work, or this Newsweek profile about me.
