AFL-CIO Organizing Director, Stewart Acuff says unions and worker federations from 63 nations are gathering in Maryland and Washington, D.C. to combat the global assault on workers' rights.

[Acuff]: “We have to confront the politics and the policies that in some ways are driving the assault, as well as confront the multinational corporations that are actually carrying out the assault. So we have to deal with both. We’re not comin’ together to talk about organizing strategy. We're comin' together to talk abut the assault coming from corrupt corporate culture and multinational corporations and right-wing policies and politics and what we can do in a collective fashion to push back against it and to confront it.”
