Why Bernie got the Postal Workers Union Endorsement ...no snub at all, in my opinion..

from the post in latest breaking news...last paragraph in that post..

The postal workers' union said Sanders has a long history of supporting its workers and pointed to his efforts to keep open post offices and mail-sorting plants in rural communities, oppose slower delivery standards and fight attempts to privatize the mail service.

Bernie has tried for years to save postal worker jobs. These are middle class jobs, and Bernie has tried to get legislation past to save these jobs and not see them go elsewhere.. I have listened to the conversation many times with Bernie and Thom Hartmann .

I do not believe in any way it was a snub. It was a union responding to someone who tried to help its workers. It is that simple. In this case Bernie has tried to help these workers for years. That is it, and that is all.
