MI AFL-CIO: No on Anti-Gay Amendment

From the Coalition for a Fair Michigan:

Michigan AFL-CIO President Mark Gaffney indicated that the organization views Proposal 2 as a cynical and divisive political ploy. He said that the AFL-CIO opposes the measure because it would take away benefits that have already been negotiated into union contracts.

The Massachusetts AFL-CIO also opposed the anti-gay amendment in that state, but this shows even in a "lunch bucket" state, unions are fighting hard for equality.
