Electrical workers in New York City area endorse Clinton, campaign says

An electrical workers' union in the New York City area has endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, her campaign said on Wednesday.

In a statement, Clinton's campaign said the Local 3 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers backed the former two-term U.S. senator from New York over her rival, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders. The group represents more than 27,000 workers, according to its website.

Earlier on Wednesday, Sanders won support from New York City transit workers.

1. The workers in that union?

Or the officers in that union?

Big difference.

2. The workers elected the officers, so there is no difference

They represent!

7. you mean just like officers at the Vatican represent the Pope, right?

Just checking.

3. Misleading Title

Should read: "Electrical Worker's Union Management".

People should be encouraged to think for themselves.
