2010

Labor's disappointment with the accomplishments of the current administration is visible. Pundits have suggested labor would sit out the 2010 elections. But the AFL-CIO has announced its rational mid-term strategy to firewall vulnerable democrats in union strongholds like New York, California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. The AFL-CIO pledges to spend more than the $53 Million it spent electing President Obama. Democrats who have not supported labor's agenda can expect labor will support primary opponents.
