Unions Endorse Edwards
September 3, 2007 - Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — John Edwards won the endorsement of the United Steelworkers and the United Mine Workers of America as more than 1,000 union members cheered the Democratic presidential candidate.
"America was not built on Wall Street. America was built by steelworkers and mine workers," Edwards told supporters at a downtown Labor Day rally and parade.......
Edwards said on ABC's "Good Morning America." "Sen. Clinton defends Washington lobbyists and the system that exists in Washington and thinks she can work within that system. If that were true we would already have universal health care. If that were true America would already be attacking global warming in a serious way.
The steelworker and mine worker endorsements mean that Edwards now has more labor endorsements than any Democratic presidential candidate.
