Has your Union endorsed a candidate yet?
Brothers and Sisters check in. I don`t believe either of the Unions I am currently in have picked a candidate yet. (UA and UFCW)

1. Member of the Boilermakers Union
the hierarchy has endorsed Gephardt. Not sure if I agree, but it seems that a lot of Unions are endorsing Gephardt. As long as it ain't bush. He is trying to destroy the Labor movement and must go.

7. Question for all Union people
Do you (or others in your Union) actually follow the leadership's choice of candidate? I'm really interested as a few of my unnamed friends in IATSE (theatre/film) refuse to support Gephardt...

What do you do???
