At USW offices, unions make all-out effort to defeat Bush By Jim McKay, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Most nights but Friday, when there's a break for high-school football, a second-floor room at the United Steelworkers headquarters Downtown transforms into a buzzing, bustling war room dedicated to the defeat of President Bush.
Teachers, government employees, nurses, janitors and retail workers sit in rows of folding chairs next to steel workers, machinists, electricians, carpenters and painters, putting out calls on 75 telephones and trying to persuade fellow union members to vote for Democrat John F. Kerry on Nov. 2.
"Our people want to get involved in this election,'' said Jack Shea, president of the Allegheny County Labor Council. "We could not be doing any more than we are doing. We could not be getting any more support from our affiliate unions."------------------------------------------- posted 6:44 AM :: reference link ::
