The Communications Workers of America (CWA) union is taking aim at a pair of vulnerable House Republicans for backing a controversial provision in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill.

The CWA radio ads slam freshmen Reps. Chip Craavack (R-Minn.) and Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) for putting "special interest politics over the needs of the American people."

"Enough! Quit playing games with our jobs, our infrastructure, and our future," the ads say.

Cravaack and Duffy are among the House Republicans most at risk of losing their seats in the 2012 election, according to The Cook Political Report’s race ratings.
