Bank of America uses bailout money to fight workers

Back in October, Bank of America looted the taxpayers to the tune of $25,000,000,000 in federal bailout dough.

Three days later, Wank of America promptly hosted a conference call with right-wing activists and business "leaders" to plot against pro-labor efforts. The call also included a representative from AIG - which also got bailout money - and attempted to raise money to give to Republican political candidates and to fight against the much-needed Employee Free Choice Act. The EFCA is a long-awaited bill that would make it easier for workers to organize, and conservatives have fought against it tooth and nail.

If Wank of America has enough money to give to right-wing candidates and fight against pro-labor legislation, it doesn't need a dime in bailout money.

The conference call was frenzied and ridiculous. During the call, Home Depot cofounder Bernie Marcus cried that the EFCA would be "the demise of a civilization." Also present was anti-labor propagandist Rick Berman.

All this on the taxpayers' dime.

The government needs to take back the bailout money Bank of America got.
