Labor Deploys Ground Forces To Iowa For Hillary
January 22nd, 2016



...........................The Ironworkers in particular looked to make an impact for Clinton, and to improve considerably over their turnout in 2008, when they saw only 77 of their members caucus. Ironworkers count about 1,400 members in Iowa, so there’s plenty of room to improve and give Clinton an extra boost.

“What we can’t write a check for against a corporation, we match with shoe leather,” Ironworkers International President Eric Dean told Starting Line at the canvass kick-off. He had come with several other top staff members from the international, and went out to do some door-knocking himself on some members’ doors in single-digit weather.

“We believe and we’ve been preaching that members need to vote in all elections,” Dean said.

The canvass that weekend was but one part of organized labor’s major push in the last month of the caucus to turn out their members for Clinton. She’s been endorsed by 24 labor unions, including most of the heavy-hitters of AFSCME, NEA, SEIU and the UFCW.

Many of those unions have already had staff placed here for months, working on member-to-member outreach. Their organizing tactics run the gamut from volunteer phone calls to direct mail to online advertising to worksite visits.

......................

“It’s been great seeing so many labor unions united behind Hillary Clinton,” said Danny Homan, the head of AFSCME Council 61 in Des Moines. “It’s just another sign that Hillary is the candidate who can get the job done for working families on the issues that matter most: protecting retirement security, safeguarding worker’s rights, and ensuring equal pay for equal work.”

And to emphasize how seriously they’re taking winning the Iowa Caucus for Clinton, many of the endorsed union’s presidents have visited the state. In addition to Dean’s visit from the Ironworkers, the national/international leaders of AFSCME, NEA, SEIU, Carpenters, Laborers, AFGE, UFCW and the Painters have all either come to union events in Iowa for Clinton or are scheduled to.

1. Ground forces? Sounds like she's bringing democracy to Baghdad and the end of the barrel of a gun.

Fitting for a would-be wartime president. Iowa - Iran what's the difference? It's all about capturing hearts and minds.

3. "Sanders Boosting His Iowa Ground Forces"

There, now I've translated it into the language of The Revolution so it will be ok.

4. It's idiot-talk either way. War talk has no place in our campaigns as far as I'm concerned.

[riversedge]

7. ground forces is a common term used during campaigns . Get real.

[riversedge]

6. Stop making me laugh!!

[sufrommich]

2. Sanders supporters have already informed us that they were

forced to be there by their mean,thuggish democratically elected union bosses. I'm not kidding: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1046156



It reads like something from Free Republic.

[Motown_Johnny]

5. This same hilarious picture keeps getting posted.

Looks like ~10 people in that shot and none of them look happy to be there.


If this is the best you have then Hillary is in serious trouble.

8. should that say Labor Ready?

if HRC is in the sentence, things like unions and saving Flint MI just dont come to mind here.

[riversedge]

11. What a stupid post. You actually look silly trying to snarky.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. There is no snark here.

Count the people in the picture. 11 at the most.

Look at the expressions on every face you can see.


I am just stating the facts.



Compare the looks on those faces to the ones in this post:

19. Why would I be silly and compare a huge pineapple with and apple. It is not a rally silly--the

members are getting ready to caucus--getting ready to work. It is not a rah rah rally. GEECH.

Enough with your nonsense.

[Motown_Johnny]

22. I just wanted you to compare happiness and sadness

but I guess that is to complex a concept for you.

9. Go Unions!! Go Ironworkers!!

The canvass that weekend was but one part of organized labor’s major push in the last month of the caucus to turn out their members for Clinton. She’s been endorsed by 24 labor unions, including most of the heavy-hitters of AFSCME, NEA, SEIU and the UFCW.

This is awesome!

[votesparks]

10. Too bad she won't be there for them

Because she's had the opportunity before, and stood silent when she had a real chance.

[riversedge]

13. Too bad you do not read the OP before you post foolish stuff. She is meeting with Unions Today
