Karla Swift, President of the Michigan AFL-CIO, spoke before the Ingham County Democratic Business and Professional Club Monday February 13, 2012.  President Swift spoke on a variety of issues including “Michigan’s 2012 Jobs Plan” which was unveiled on January 12, 2012.  This plan will hold legislators accountable for creating good-paying jobs, rebuilding the state’s crumbling infrastructure, making sure all of Michigan’s children have access to a good education, and helping unemployed workers get back on their feet.  This document, entitled “Michigan’s 2012 Jobs Plan,” provides a roadmap for rebuilding the state’s economy by investing in Michigan’s workers, families, and communities.

During the hour presentation President Swift also talked about the nonpartisan “Economic Policy Institute ‘Right to Work’ Report”, and the impact on workers and jobs in Michigan.

Both of these documents are attached below.  Also to read more on what AFL-CIO is doing please check out their web site http://miaflcio.org
