Unions step up effort to oust Bush from office BY RICK HAGLUND, Ann Arbor News
DETROIT - Although down to a rock-bottom low of representing just 8 percent of American private-sector workers, organized labor is poised to flex considerable muscle in the presidential race, political experts say.
Fueled by their loathing of President George Bush, unions are running television ads, knocking on voters' doors and spending tens of million of dollars in a sweeping effort to propel presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry into the White House.
'Unions will play a major role in this election,' United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger vowed in a speech last week to a group of Booth Newspapers editors and publishers in Lansing. 'It'll be a down-to-the-wire campaign.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:02 AM :: reference link ::
