Clinton Picks Up Backing of AFSCME
Hillary Rodham Clinton won the endorsement of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees yesterday. The union is the largest for workers in the public- service sector with 1.4 million members nationwide. The union said the New York Democrat "will help rebuild America's middle class and make sure everyone shares in our country's prosperity." The endorsement is a welcome boost for Clinton in the labor community. The 1.8-million-member Service Employees International Union decided not to endorse a candidate on the national level, and its state chapters have been backing John Edwards, whose pickups included the New Hampshire chapter yesterday, and Barack Obama. - Associated PressContact senior writer Larry Eichel at 215-854-2415 or leichel@phillynews.com.
