Rahm endorsed by 15 labor unions

The Chicago Sun-Times has a Sneed exclusive:

Sneed has learned Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to drop a labor bomb.

Emanuel, who had little union support when he ran in 2011, will announce he has moved from labor pains to labor gains big-time!

• The pitch: Intended as an effort to set the record straight on which mayoral candidate has a lock on major union support, Emanuel will announce he has accepted the endorsement of 15 labor unions representing 70 locals — hundreds of thousands of workers — including building trades and hotel workers throughout the city.

• The purveyors: Sources tell Sneed the mayor’s support includes nearly every single building trades union in the city: electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, Teamsters and others, as well as Unite Here!, which represents service workers, from hotel housekeeping staff to the lunch servers at CPS schools.

Unions that love investment bankers without MBA's!
