The senior executive from the nation's largest labor group walked door-to-door through a middle class neighborhood in Northern Virginia carrying a twin message for union households.

Standing in a steady drizzle on the stoop of a white house in Woodbridge, Gebre made the sale to postal worker Michael Brown.

"Anything that comes up against unions, I'm voting 'no,'" Brown, 68, assured Gebre. Without unions, Brown said, "it means employers can fire you for no reason at all."
