TOPEKA, Kansas-- Labor unions in Kansas are trying to unite in their opposition to Gov. Sam Brownback and his Republican allies in the Legislature.
They launched a new campaign Friday to oppose what they consider anti-worker and anti-family economic policies.
The Working Kansas Alliance had a news conference to introduce itself as dozens of delegates attended the Kansas AFL-CIO's biennial convention in Topeka. Groups affiliated with the AFL-CIO are part of the new alliance, along with organizations representing teamsters, service workers, teachers and state government employees.
They worry about policies Brownback and the GOP-controlled Legislature will pursue next year on taxes, public pensions, unions' political fundraising and employee bargaining rights.
But Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag says the governor is working to create new jobs.
