Mike Malloy - Why Would A Union Member Support Hillary Clinton?



A powerful West Coast union of dock and warehouse workers has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for president, giving his campaign a boost heading into a series of primary contests there.

The International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union said its executive board voted on the endorsement Thursday. Its president, Robert McEllrath, said in a statement that Sanders is “best on the issues that matter most to American workers.” The union, known for its militant history, now represents roughly 50,000 workers in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.

in an email when they did so. I have yet to receive a reply. Perhaps I should politely ask again?

For some reason, it was just so delicious. But you had to stir it because the fruit at the bottom was a concentrated sweetness. Thank goodness for the delicious creamy yogurt to mix it in, amiright?

...my friend told me he wanted to get a Murray bike, because in his words, "Murray gives you more." It turns out, that was the slogan they used in the tv commercials and he was just repeating it the way a 3rd grade boy would. I didn't know this at the time because I didn't have tv, so I asked him "Murray gives you more of what?" And he just responded "More." This back and forth went on for a little while until he told me that it was something he'd heard on the commercial and then it made sense to me. Again, we were third graders at the time who were very susceptible to marketing ploys such as that one by Murray bicycles. Do you see where I'm going with this?

I mean geez, she was on the Board of Directors at Wal-Mart, and said nothing while union bashing was all the rage.

Which gave jobs to American workers and promotions and better pay for women. A union should be doing both.

Yeah, I know it's the union leadership, but I bet membership doesn't vote them out.
