Thanks! They are not related to the AFL-CIO. According to their website, their name is actually the Republican Party Labor Federation of Minnesota.
This brings up a question that maybe a union member on the list can answer: Doesn't the term "labor endorsed" mean that a real labor union or an individual local has endorsed the candidate? After all the election lawsuits that have been filed over the years, isn't there a legal definition of this term? So who is this group made up of? Seems as if they've co-opted a term and are using it to misdirect voters. linda higgins old highland ----- Original Message ----- From: "Constance Nompelis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Linda Higgins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 11:46 AM Subject: Labor Endorsement > Valdis Rozentals has been endorsed by the MN Labor > Federation.
