Organized labor supporting Bush? On Bush's air-pollution legislation that unlikely occurrence is happening. Bill Cunningham of Unions for Jobs and The Environment says a group of union presidents from the United Mine Workers, Teamsters, Boilermakers, Electrical Workers, Utility Workers and the Transportation/Communications International Union among others are calling on Democrats on the Senate Environment Committee to back the Bush plan because it¹s a reasonable reduction of air pollution while still protecting jobs.

[Bill Cunningham]: "We're supporting the bill because it calls for rather dramatic reductions in pollutants and creates jobs at the some time. I don't know if you could say that's in support of the Bush administration - well, you might say that. But basically we're calling for rather dramatic reductions and we think that's the responsible thing to do."

Environmental groups oppose Bush¹s plan, which includes allowing power plants that pollute to buy pollution ³credits² from plants that have reduced emissions further than required. The Senate Committee is expected to act on Bush air pollution bill today.
