Amid worries that labor could shift its resources from political activity to organizing, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) stressed the role Democrats have played this year in beating back controversial collective bargaining measures. She said she would be concerned if the labor community views Democrats as unsupportive of its agenda.
"I think that across the country, you've had widespread grassroots and particularly Democratic support pushing back against these radical proposals that are anti-union and anti-worker," Wasserman Schultz said Tuesday evening on MSNBC. "I'm concerned if the perception is, by labor, that the Democrats aren't supportive."
Wasserman Schultz boasted of being able to kill Florida Gov. Rick Scott's (R) labor reforms in Florida, and said that Democrats would be supportive of labor in the fights to come.
"I think that Democrats have been very supportive," she said. "Democratic elected leaders and Democratic activists have been very supportive of workers' rights and pro-labor, the natural home for labor's members is the Democratic Party, there's no question."

This woman is one of the biggest liars of all the dems, and you have to be a good liar to be near the top of the list as a dem.
Funny, the governor of CT(A democrat) is pushing cuts on the public unions, and said since no agreement has been reached, he's laying off over 4,000 workers. No press from MSNBC, but it's no suprise.
