Radio story: AFLCIO Central Labor Council endorses Chynoweth, Huth, Patt, and Green in Urbana and Champaign municipal elections. |
|
At its monthly meeting on Wednesday, the AFL-CIO of Champaign County endorsed four candidates for local election. The central labor council made a surprising endorsement of challenger Danielle Chynoweth in the democratic primary in Urbana, deciding not to endorse the incumbent democrat on the city council. David Johnson, vice president of the labor council, said, quote, "Danielle supports the prevailing wage, the living wage and the right to bargain collectively. She opposes using prison labor and outsourcing of government services to low-wage subcontractors. She's one hundred percent pro-labor." Also on Wednesday, the central labor body endorsed Esther Patt, and Laura Huth in Urbana, as well as Dennis Green in Champaign. Patt is a member of AFSCME local 3700, and Green is a member of Carpenters local 44. |
