Bush plan to win over Democratic voters lags Labor unions had an arguably longer honeymoon with the administration: Despite backing Gore in 2000, Teamsters president James P. Hoffa was invited to the 2002 State of the Union address, one of several moves Republicans have made to win the support of unions, which can play a pivotal role in swing states such as West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Bush also hosted the Carpenters Union president Douglas McCarron on Air Force One.
When Bush decided to impose tariffs on steel imports shortly after taking office, advisers called it a nod to unions. And he has emphasized the benefits that allowing drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would have for both laborers and their employers, one aspect of an energy policy that appealed to some labor officials.------------------------------------------- posted 8:48 AM :: reference link ::
