Unions now begin backing Kerry.....
NEW YORK, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, which represents 100,000 members throughout the United States, has endorsed John Kerry for President.
"This election is crucial for working people," said RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum. "Four more years of George W. Bush would be disastrous for working families. Too many people can no longer afford health care. Too many families can no longer make ends meet. Too many children are being left behind. We need somebody who can win in November and put us back on the right course."
"John Kerry has long been a champion for working people," continued Appelbaum. "He has a history of fighting for working families and a plan that will help bring economic fairness to workers throughout the U.S."
"I am energized that RWDSU has joined me in the fight to get America back on track," said John Kerry. "This is a critical time for our nation and we need to stand up for jobs and fight for America's families. Creating jobs for America has never been more important than it is today and in the first hundred days of a Kerry Administration, I will reverse the dramatic job losses that we have had under George Bush."
