AFL-CIO Bus Tour Stops at Rep. Calvert Accountability Rally

On Wednesday, the AFL-CIO “It’s Better In a Union” bus joined union members and community allies for a rally outside Rep. Ken Calvert’s district office in Corona, California, to hold the lawmaker accountable for the repeated betrayals of working people, including his support for the Trump administration’s budget bill.

Ken Calvert’s congressional district is a swing seat, and this rally aimed to show Calvert that if he continues to put billionaires above working families, his position of power will be in jeopardy. Speakers included CFT President and California Federation of Labor Unions Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Freitas, Inland Empire Labor Council Executive Secretary-Treasurer Ricardo Cisneros, and United Domestic Workers (UDW) District 3 Chair Desmond Prescott.
