AFL-CIO 56 national and international
unions..."represents 10.5 million members, including 2 million members
in Working America, its new community affiliate." The AFL-CIO voted to endorse
Sen. Obama on June 26, 2008. “Union members are
determined to create a sea change in American politics that will
benefit
working families for generations to come. We’ve mounted our
largest, broadest grassroots effort ever to elect Barack
Obama and candidates at all levels who are committed to putting our
nation back
on track after eight years of failed Bush policies.”
-AFL-CIO President John Sweeney
