“The report came as a coalition of labor groups announced their vehement opposition to the immigration bill, denouncing it as ``anti-worker.’’ Those unions argue that the temporary worker program will create an underclass of guest laborers who could be abused by the employers and denied a fair chance at becoming citizens.
``It creates a situation ripe for exploitation,’’ said Richard L. Trumka, the AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer.
Immigrant-heavy service unions, on the other hand, are supporting the bill, which would swell their ranks.”

“”Immigrant-heavy service unions, on the other hand, are supporting the bill, which would swell their ranks.””
LOL. It will destroy those unions with a flood of newly legalized labor.
