Obama / Unions

President Barack Obama is holding meetings this week with CEOs and labor-union leaders alike. The subject: the fiscal cliff. Obama is trying to build pressure on Congress to cut the federal debt by both raising taxes and trimming spending. He's invited leaders of the nation's biggest unions to the White House today. Tomorrow, he'll welcome business executives, many of whom supported his GOP rival Mitt Romney. Those meetings set the stage for Friday, when he'll meet with the top Republicans and Democrats in Congress to discuss ways to avert sequestration.
