To ensure Hillary Clinton wins the Democrat nomination for President, two Big Labor groups are starting to spend large sums of workers’ money on radio ads and political consultants, including a million dollar ad buy in Iowa promoting the Clinton candidacy.
“The American Federation Of Teachers AFL-CIO Committee On Political Education reported today it has spent $281,114 on radio ads promoting Clinton in Iowa. Yesterday, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees unveiled a flight of television ads it began airing in Iowa promoting Clinton, the leading edge of what it said would be a seven-figure expenditure . . . ” the Washington Post reports.
The Big Union Bosses seem convinced they will get a good return on their investment should Clinton win the White House. Her record on worker rights issues suggest they are right.
California’s Big Labor-concocted A.B.5, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019, made it almost impossible for workers and firms to bounce back after 2020’s COVID-19 lockdowns. Now Biden bureaucrats want to federalize A.B.5!
Mr. Fain undoubtedly knows full well that there is a complete disconnect between the UAW hierarchy and the UAW rank-and-file on the Biden presidency and whether workers will benefit from its extension for another four years.
Political pundits of every stripe have noted, and attempted to explain, a dramatic shift in recent years in the coalitions that back America’s two major political parties.
