DENVER – Rita Moran, a Barack Obama delegate from Winthrop, is heading the AFL-CIO’s efforts for the Maine delegation.

The AFL-CIO is out in full force at the Democratic National Convention. Interest groups have launched an aggressive campaign against the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation that seeks to make it easier for unions to organize. The AFL-CIO, which looks out for unions, wants to make sure Democratic lawmakers stay on their side.

Moran said that in Maine the AFL-CIO doesn’t have anything to worry about. Both U.S. Reps. Tom Allen (D-Portland) and Mike Michaud (D-East Millinocket) are co-sponsors of the bill. Allen is running for Senate, and Democrat Chellie Pingree is eyeing his seat. She has said that she strongly supports the bill.
