Romnesia Can’t Change the Fact that President Obama Saved the Auto Industry


Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–October 23, 2012.  AFSCME Pres. Lee Saunders issued the following statement this morning:

“Working men and women across this country know that President Obama is fighting for them and for the survival of the middle class. President Obama has been tough on trade and brought more successful challenges to China’s trade practices during his first term than the Bush administration brought in eight years. He saved our auto industry against the advice of Governor Romney and his allies on Capitol Hill. President Obama knew that those jobs were essential to America’s economic future and our national security. No amount of Romnesia can change the fact that had we followed Governor Romney’s policies, the American auto industry and millions of jobs would now be lost forever.”

AFSCME’s 1.6 million members provide the vital services that make America happen. With members in hundreds of different occupations — from nurses to corrections officers, child care providers to sanitation workers — AFSCME advocates for fairness in the workplace, excellence in public services and prosperity and opportunity for all working families.
