If Pipefitters’ Association Local 537 and Utility Workers Union of America Local 369 endorsed Lynch in the last Congressional race, 2008, then I would say Lynch is behind the eight ball with these two unions.
Did you hear the following and is it true? (from the same article)
Lynch, a former Ironworker Union President, was barred from speaking at Monday's breakfast due to his lack of support for national health care reform.
These locals made a poor decision. With the field expanded to 1 it is clearly far to early to support anyone. What I really don't understand is why they would choose to back a candidate with 0 legislative experience which includes no history of a Labor voting record. The members of congress who are considering running have already proven themselves as friends of Labor and 1 in particular(Rep Lynch) happens to be a card carrying dues paying member of Local 7 Iron workers. This premature decision was a mistake and appears to be geared towards personal gain.
