(Continued On Page 48) ISEW JOURNAL I MARCH '987 I 3 Labor's Legislative Priorities For the 100th Congress While there were several important labor victories achieved during the last frantic weeks of the 99th Congress, a number of important AFL-CIO-supported legislative issues were not resolved. With the Democrats in control of both the House and Senate, the lOOth Congress can expect strong organized-Labor pressure to address those i sues left unresolved. Labor will seek congressional action to relieve unemployment, advance workers' righ ts, safeguard jobs, ensure a safe and healthy workplace, and- the No. 1 priority- legislation to curb the £Iood tide of imports.
