Kerry Pledges to Choose a Labor Secretary From 'House of Labor' Bloomberg.com
Democratic Senator John Kerry said he'd appoint a union member to be secretary of labor if he defeats President George W. Bush in the November election.
"You deserve the ability to get ahead in return for hard work,'' Kerry told a conference of 2,000 building trade union members in Washington by satellite from Boston, his hometown. "You deserve a secretary of labor from the house of labor, and most importantly you deserve a president who puts jobs first.''
The last U.S. president to choose a labor secretary from a union was Republican Richard Nixon, who in 1973 appointed Peter J. Brennan, a New York state building and construction trades labor leader, to the position.------------------------------------------- posted 7:14 AM :: reference link ::
