UAW Will Help Elect Democrat — Either One — to the White House
February 04, 2008
United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger said Sunday the union will work hard to elect a Democrat to the White House, but said the union would not endorse either Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., or Senator Barack Obama, D-Ill., for the Democratic nomination.
“The stakes in this election could not be any higher. Our jobs are on the line,” Gettelfinger told an assembly of about 1,000 union activists gathered in Washington for a conference. More than 3 million manufacturing jobs in the U.S. have been lost since January 2001, he noted.
Gettelfinger said the union will support the Democratic presidential candidates with money and sweat equity.

Hmm, voting for the party trying to destroy Detroit and bent on stealing every increasing amounts of workers wages. Wow UAW, now that is a brilliant plan.
