:: Monday, March 03, 2003 ::
Elaine Chao in Labor's Den -- 03/03/2003 Teamsters officials grumbled that Chao's indiscretion undermined years of conciliation with the GOP. Republicans who had been engaged in that effort mourned that chances to win Hoffa's endorsement of George W. Bush in 2004 had just vanished. Instead of sending the secretary to Florida to chide labor, one Teamster official told me, the White House should have dispatched aides to brief conservative union leaders on the Iraq war as a counterweight to the movement's Sweeney-led dominant left wing.
Yet, Chao and her associates at the Labor Department may be more realistic than the Bush team. She is reported to feel that the Carpenters (no longer in the AFL-CIO) constitute the only union that will give the Republicans close to an even break politically, and these Carpenters endorsed every incumbent Senate Democrat seeking re-election last year.------------------------------------------- posted 11:06 AM :: reference link ::
