DETROIT (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is scheduled to campaign in Detroit before more than 3,000 union members.
The former secretary of state, senator and first lady will address the Service Employees International Union's international convention at the Cobo Center on Monday
The SEIU endorsed Clinton in November. Her campaign says she will discuss her plans to raise incomes for working families and to break down barriers "holding Americans back."
