Endorsements

The IA and AFL-CIO make political statements.

The AFL-CIO Executive Council, at its midwinter meeting in Orlando, Florida, voted unanimously on Mar. 13, to endorse Barack Obama for a second term as U.S. President. IATSE President Matthew Loeb, who serves on the Council, is pleased to announce that the IA General Executive Board has endorsed President Obama as well.

Hardly a surprise endorsement, since the Prez wants to keep Medicare and not outlaw labor unions.

Even so, I assume there will be union members who support Mittens, Rick, or Newt if they get the Republican nod.
