Andy Stern: Let the Debate Begin!

Over the last several days I have had the chance to speak in a variety of forums: colleges, a management consultant meeting, with SEIU members and leaders in New York, and to SEIU's first ever national meeting of Republican members.

Perhaps you should start thinking about the American worker and what's in the best interests of America, rather than your current tack.
