The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) today issued a statement of support for the working families in Indiana who are under assault by Gov. Mitch Daniels and a conservative majority in the legislature. In the statement, the players said:
The NFLPA stands together with the working families of Indiana and organized labor in their fight against this attempt to hurt them by targeting unions.
The hard-working people of Indiana, who work in both the public and private sectors, deserve the right to choose union representation and have collective protection for themselves and their families. The attacks on public employees in Indianapolis are particularly troubling. The teachers, nurses and people who keep us safe deserve our respect and strong representation from their unions. We stand in solidarity with our union brothers and sisters in their fight against the special interests that are trying to undermine the rights of American workers.
