Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/Push Coalition and union leaders will announce their opposition on Tuesday, February 3 in New York to the merger between MCI Communications Corp and WorldCom Inc , Rainbow/Push Coalition said on Sunday. Jackson, the founder of the Chicago-based group, will hold a press conference with Communications Workers of America leader Larry Mancino to urge the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission to block the proposed merger, a Rainbow/Push statement said. The organizations will urge the FCC to hold public hearings and extend the period for comments on the merger beyond the current February 5, 1998 deadline, the group said. Would anyone have a guess as to why?
