Orrock, Rep. Virgil Fludd and Georgia Working Families Legislative Caucus Oppose Unemployment Insurance Cuts that Shred the Safety Net for Working Families and Failure of General Assembly to Pass Bills to Create Jobs
ATLANTA (March 8, 2012) –Sen. Nan Orrock (D-Atlanta) and Rep. Virgil Fludd (D-Tyrone), Co-Chairs of the Georgia Working Families Legislative Caucus, joined with the AARP and others to unify the effort against legislation that would shred the safety net for hard-working middle class families, and address the General Assembly’s failure to create jobs amidst the highest sustained unemployment in 60 years. They noted that the Senate’s passage of SB 469 last night would further undermine efforts by groups committed to helping working families of this state to organize and protest abuses by businesses in these difficult economic times.
“The number one priority for all Georgians is job creation, and that should be the number one priority of the Georgia General Assembly”, said Rep. Fludd. “Instead, as we review the wreckage after crossover day, we see a mass of legislation that hurts working families. We see Bills that undermine the core values of the American dream instead of rewarding hard work and playing by the rules,” he continued.
