AFSCME President Gerald McEntee says he will continue to push for an AFL-CIO endorsement of Senator Hillary Clinton for president in the wake of her big wins in Ohio and Texas. He says about 52 percent of the federation’s unions now back Clinton, but a two-thirds majority is needed.

[McEntee]: “That’s very difficult. It’s like pushing a rock up the side of a mountain.”

Despite denials from the Obama campaign and from Canadian officials, McEntee says there’s still serious concern in the labor movement over whether Obama’s economic advisor said one thing in private to Canadian officials about NAFTA while Obama’s campaign may have been saying something different to voters.

[McEntee 2]: "Did the guy say, didn't he say it? Does Barack Obama say something in public and something else in private? I mean, we've got to in some way to get to the bottom of that and really understand it. Because it will continue to be significant in Pennsylvania."
