WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The following is a statement from Change to Win Executive Director Chris Chafe regarding John McCain’s speech today in Virginia Beach, V.A.

"Today John McCain launched another attack on the rights of America's workers to receive fair wages and benefits on the job. In an election about change, McCain's attacks against workers represent more of the same mistreatment we've had throughout his career and the Bush years. Workers know McCain voted to ship our jobs overseas, to give tax breaks to companies that take jobs from our communities, and against raising the minimum wage 19 times. Now McCain's solution to our health care crisis is to tax our health care benefits. American workers know that John McCain is bad for their jobs, their wallets, and their families' health care. In this economic crisis, workers want a new President who will fight for good jobs in this country, and who will give every worker a shot at the American Dream. This election is about new leadership who will stand up to rebuild the middle class, and that is why Change to Win's six million members are supporting Barack Obama."
