Where does one of the country's oldest and most storied unions come down as nearly half of the states vote on Super Tuesday? Jesse Russell takes a look.

While many unions on the national and international level have come down for one of the two Democratic candidates running for the Presidential nomination, nearly just as many have stayed silent, choosing instead to let their locals decide on their own who they support or if they support anyone at all. At a conference in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, United Autoworkers President, Ron Gettlefinger said his union would not be backing either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama as they battle for the nomination.

Gettlefinger told the more than 1,000 union members in attendance that the stakes in this election could not be any higher. He said he considers both candidates “friends” and suggested that they would both protect the rights of workers, keep manufacturing jobs in the United States, and work toward providing affordable healthcare for all. However, Gettlefinger did say that when the Democrats do make a final decision on who to support and the country enters the general election the UAW planned to “spend a lot of money”, but more importantly, he said “we can outwork them, and that’s what we intend to do.”
