'Electability Factor' Enables Kerry to Win LaborTalk, By Harry Kelber
Kerry's Iowa victory gave him the momentum to win in New Hampshire and establish himself as the front-runner for the nomination.
The 700,000-member Communications Workers of America has endorsed Kerry, and it is quite likely that many of the forty international unions that have thus far made no endorsements will jump on the Kerry bandwagon.
Unlike Dean, Kerry has not emphasized labor issues or said much about unions, nor does he share labor's views on trade. AFL-CIO leaders have not had as close an association with him as they had with Gephardt.
However, labor is united on one goal: to oust George Bush from the White House, and Kerry appears the most likely candidate to do so.------------------------------------------- posted 8:08 AM :: reference link ::
