Hillary Clinton Wins Endorsement From United Food and Commercial Workers Union

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which represents 1.3 million workers in grocery and retail, described Clinton as "the best qualified and positioned candidate to win in 2016." UFCW said it came to its endorsement decision after a series of meetings between union officials and internal polls of its members.
With less than three weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses, Clinton has already locked up endorsements from unions representing a solid majority of the nation's unionized workers. The biggest public sector unions have also thrown their weight behind the candidate -- including the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees -- along with the Service Employees International Union. UFCW says it is the largest private sector union in the country.
Clinton said in a statement through her campaign that she was "honored" to have the union's backing. "American workers built the greatest middle class in history by fighting for higher wages, safer working conditions, retirement security and the right to bargain collectively," she said. "The UFCW has been there every step of the way."
