Chicago Labor Federation Refuses To Endorse Daley - 01/18/07

By Doug Cunningham

The Chicago Federation of Labor is refusing to endorse Richard Daley for mayor. Federation president Dennis Gannon says it was Daley’s veto of a living wage ordinance for big-box stores like Wal-Mart combined with a host of other labor issues like privatization of city services that lost labor’s endorsement for Daley.
