AFL-CIO Warns Democrats Who Support Filibuster

AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler warned that Democrats “could face consequences at the ballot box if they don’t support nixing the legislative filibuster to pass a sweeping pro-union bill and other Democratic priorities,” The Hill reports.

Said Schuler: “Workers want to hold elected officials accountable on an agenda that they voted for. Right now that agenda is being blocked by arcane rules in the Senate. We believe that voters will take that into consideration for the next election.”
