Meanwhile, the New York City-based Transport Workers Union is likely to endorse Obama on Friday, a union source said on condition of anonymity. The 200,000-member unit originally endorsed Edwards. The Transport Workers would be the first member of the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest labor federation, to endorse Obama.

Obama also got support from the California-based United Healthcare Workers, which is affilated with the Service Employees International Union. "We feel Obama is the best candidate for working families," said Sal Rosselli, president of the 150,000-member union that describes itself as the largest and most powerful healthcare union west of the Mississippi.
