Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is building a Democratic offensive to Republican governors’ union-busting proposals, according to O’Malley spokesman Shaun Adamec.
O’Malley is meeting in Washington on Wednesday with top executives of the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest labor union.
“He will discuss the political power grabs that many Republican governors are attempting, and what Democratic governors can do to work with public employees’ labor unions and the business community to create jobs,” Adamec told The Washington Examiner. The morning meeting will be held at the AFL-CIO headquarters.
O’Malley, who also serves as chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, will present a plan of action to the union leaders — including AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka — before taking questions.
