The AFL-CIO is reaching out to 600,000 union voters in the swing states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The labor federation is attempting to accurately define Senator Barack Obama to those voters. Mailers are going out to union households in these key battleground states in an effort to counter misperceptions and false information being circulated about Obama. The mailers include testimonials from workers on Senator Obama’s record on jobs, health care reform, and workers’ rights.
