(WPRI) - Labor leaders were heavily criticized for their push back on cost-cutting plans in the House of Representatives Supplemental Budget. One of the most vocal was Rhode Island Statewide Coalition Chairman Harry Staley, who called the Rhode Island AFL-CIO President, George Nee "public enemy number one." This week on Newsmakers, Nee and Staley go head to head, debating the budget now that the General Assembly is back to square one, and the perception of labor in Rhode Island.
