Presidential candidates speak out for unions« Thread Started on Jun 21, 2007, 6:07pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Democrats UnitePresidential candidates speak out for unionsBy Alonzo Webb read at source> http://content.scholastic.com/browse/ar ... id=3746675 Kid Reporter Alonzo Webb with Senator Barack Obama at the Building and Construction Trades Department conference. (Photo: Suzanne Freeman) The Building and Construction Trades Department (BTCD) held their annual legislative conference in March 2007 in Washington, D.C. The conference was very special this year because the department invited Democratic and Republican presidential candidates to speak.This was a chance for the BTCD to learn more about the candidates and possibly pick one to support."We intend to see all the candidates in action and hear what they are saying before making an endorsement,” said Edward Sullivan, president of the organization.The presidential candidates who came out and spoke were former Senator John Edwards (D-NC), Governor Bill Richardson (D-NM), Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Senator Joe Biden (D-DE), and Senator Barack Obama (D-IL). No Republican candidates attended the conference.Kid Reporter Alonzo Webb with Hilary Clinton at the Building and Construction Trades Department conference.

The BTCD provides important support to labor unions for workers in building and construction trades. Because they can reach so many people, the BTCD has the ability to educate and mobilize voters—which basically means they may be able to influence who voters choose.
