Laborers' union endorses Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Another national labor group has backed Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, siding with her against rival Bernie Sanders, who has sought to frame himself as labor's champion.

The Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA), which represents about 500,000 people, announced its endorsement of Clinton on Tuesday, one day after she secured the backing of the 11 million member International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Ironworkers.


"LIUNA members and leadership believe that Secretary Clinton is the right leader to move our country forward and the most qualified candidate to address the many challenges facing the United States," Terry O’Sullivan, the group's general president, said in a statement.

"LIUNA members are deeply concerned about the direction of our country and are looking for a real leader who will create good jobs, rebuild our country, and grow our economy. Secretary Clinton’s record proves that she is a tough and tested fighter for our nation and for working men and women."

1. How many does that make now? I think the total number is higher than Bernie's, if I'm not mistaken.

4. HRC's "record proves that she is a tough and tested fighter for our nation..."

Go Hillary, and go LIUNA.
