A coalition of unions and public interest groups are meeting today to call on the House of Representatives to reject overhauling the nation’s bankruptcy laws. Groups include the AFL-CIO, ACORN, the National Organization for Women and Public Citizen. The Senate has already approved rewriting the nation’s bankruptcy laws; the House is expected to vote on the measure as early as this week. Congressman Jim McDermott assailed the bill on Tuesday describing it as the Credit Card Company Enslavement Act of 2005. A new coalition called DebtSlavery is organizing rallies today in 14 cities across the country to protest the legislation.
