Rather than debate, union operatives ultimately pressured the network to cancel the National Right to Work Foundation in favor of an opponent from the business community which would allow the AFL-CIO to frame the issue as \u201cbusiness vs. workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An AFL-CIO operative stated that they, \u201c\u2026absolutely will not even appear on any single solitary program even like (sic) within the same hour as somebody from the National Right to Work.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis begs the question, what is the AFL-CIO afraid of?\u201d asked Gleason.  \u201cThe fact that they refuse to appear is the real story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys from the National Right to Work Foundation are representing victims of abuse from AFL-CIO affiliated unions in more than 200 legal-aid cases nationwide.
