Labor Leader Joins Bernie Sanders' Campaign, Citing Clinton's 'Silence' On Fast Track http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/07/01/larry-cohen-bernie-sanders_n_7702254.html
I'm Endorsing and Volunteering for Bernie! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-cohen/im-endorsing-and-voluntee_b_7701948.html This is a BFD. Of course, Larry is doing this as a private citizen, not as the (former) head of CWA. But Larry is carrying a tremendous amount of human capital around with him. A lot of people know Larry for a long time. This is going to have a big impact. In terms of a lot of rank-and-file, he may be pushing on an open door. I went to a PDA thing for Bernie in Springfield, IL on Sunday. I was struck by the number of labor people there. Someone from the Building Trades gave a pro-Bernie speech. Then someone from the UAW gave a pro-Bernie speech. Then I went around and asked people, who are you, where are you from. Several said, "I work for the state," which almost surely meant that they are AFSCME.
