20. Kucinich has really stood up for service workers, like janitors, some of
whom are not even citizens. He consistently favors the little guy over the fat cats. His latest: cancelling a million $ fund-raiser at the Hyatt in Orange county, CA because the "service workers" were having a labor dispute with them.

He is against privatization and out-sourcing of government jobs into low-wage contract-out-to-the-lowest-bidder jobs. AFSCME(the ones in the green shirts) stood up and cheered for him when he said everyone should have collective bargaining, at the Albuquerque Presidential debate!!

He believes that as soon as an election is held that votes in a union, it should be in place and the business should have to do collective bargaining with the union.(Currently the wait is about 2-3 years before the union vote counts.)

I couldn't imagine a man who agrees more with Sanders. This IS a Dem issue, but not for "some" candidates, who go merrily on their $2000 per person fund-raisers...:puke:
