AFL-CIO Uses Bulgarian Website to Advocate for Congress to Act on EFCA
-By Warner Todd Huston
What, there aren’t any websites run by American workers and hosted in the USA that the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department could find to host its press releases? Apparently not as far as the union is concerned, anyway, because a press release to push a Washington conference in support of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) is hosted on PR-USA.net, a misleadingly named site hosted and run in Varna, Bulgaria and registered by one Mr. Dobri Bojilov .
Another amusing aspect of this choice for a site host is the fact that the conference is discussing the issue of H2(b) visa reform. Of course, the H2(b) visa is the the work visa offered to foreign workers by the U.S. government. So, this union is using a foreign website to advocate against the importation of foreign workers. This union is using a foreign run site to advocate for American workers.
Why is the AFL-CIO using a foreign web service to host its press releases? Don’t they care about American workers?
I wonder if the AFL-CIO can spell hypocrisy?

I am the Communications Director for the Building and Construction Trades Department, and the author of the press release to which you refer. You are incorrect in stating that we hosted our press release on a Bulgarian website. When we issue a release it is sent out over the wires and anybody is free to pick it up and run with it…including someone, presumably, in Bulgaria.
In the future, please do a little research before you make idiotic statements like this one.
I am a proud Union member who strongly supports civil liberties. I do not, or ever have supported, the ALCU or their agenda.
Brother Tom Owens is absolutely correct in terms of your totally inaccurate account in assuming that there is somehow a Bulgarian connection with his AFL-CIO website site on the EFCA.
If your organization has any integrity or decency, as well as the fortitude to admit that you have done Tom Owens and the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department a serious wrong, you will post an immediate apology to both Tom and his organization.
Failing such an apology, you will have only proved yourself to be both dishonest and cowardly.
