Central Labor Union Endorsements
There are a lot of people that are pretty upset with the central labor union over their endorsement process.
Apparently they did a terrible job of letting candidates know that they were even holding endorsements. Not all the candidates got an invite or the word that there was an endorsement process going on, as evidenced by the fact that so many of them found out at the last minute and just sorta showed up to try to compete for the endorsement.
Not sure if there is a fix for this, but labor needs to get it right. There was a time when CLU endorsement was the crown jewel and labor was the backbone of the Democratic Party. Now the collective CLU no longer holds the status it once did and the individual labor unions like the Fire Fighters and Teacher Associations have been carrying the fight for the labor movement in town.
Seriously - we need to fix this.
