Re: UE endorses Nader

[Eugene Coyle <eugenecoyle@xxxxxxx>]

As far as I know the ILWU hasn't endorsed yet.  Brian McWilliams, now
ex-president, just lost a bid for re-election.  The union might turn its
focus more toward money than politics now that he is out.

McWilliams was at the founding convention of the Labor Party.  At the same
time, the ILWU has close connections with the Democrats through the rest of
the labor movement..
