Bernie Sanders
I just heard that IUPA (AFL/CIO) is endorsing him for president. It's due to him wanting to share what others have worked hard to get! IUPA wants the same!

AFL-CIO may be supporting Bernie, that makes sense, fair share and all because of (Richard L.) Trumka but the majority the police union members (including IUPA) support (Donald J.) Trump. Isn't Israel is supporting cop hater Hillary anyway?

In expressing her concern, Henry reflected a different form of anxiety that is weighing on some union leaders and Democratic operatives: their fear that Trump, if not effectively countered, may draw an unusually large number of union voters in a possible general election matchup. This could, in turn, give Republicans a boost in swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, all of which President Barack Obama won twice.
The source of the attraction to Trump, say union members and leaders, is manifold: the candidate’s unapologetically populist positions on certain economic issues, particularly trade; a frustration with the impotence of conventional politicians; and above all, a sense that he rejects the norms of Washington discourse.
“They feel he’s the one guy who’s saying what’s on people’s minds,” Thomas Hanify, president of the Indiana state firefighters union, said of his rank and file.
