Democrat candidates for president continue to pander to Labor Bosses. This time it was the Communications Workers of America and the Building and Construction Trades who held auditions, and they did not go away disappointed. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Gov. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.), Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Joseph Biden (D-Del.) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) addressed one or both of the conclaves — the first step in unions’ consideration of who to endorse, if anyone, for the 2008 presidential race, the Pro-Big Labor Workday Minnesota reports.
Not surprisingly, all candidates “strongly supported” the Card Check scam bill. While Sen. Dodd proclaimed that he was “a union senator,” the pandering award of the week goes to Clinton who called the bill “as American as apple pie.”

Thanks to the Committee's election-year program, union-label candidates like Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.) are being given a choice: pledge to change course and support Right to Work going forward, or face the potential political consequences.

Biden judicial nominee Nicole Berner has a track record of mindlessly repeating union bosses’ anti-Right to Work diatribes and defending their schemes to profit at the expense of the disabled.
