Asked for comment about the news that Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) intends to run for Senate in 2010, AFL-CIO spokesman Eddie Vale says that influential labor organization is biding its time. “When it is time to make an endorsement decision it will be made by Pennsylvania’s workers based on the issues that are important to them including the Employee Free Choice Act and health care reform,” Vale told me.
Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) recently said that he thinks an EFCA compromise is highly likely, though it’s unclear what level of support they expect from him if he’s to clear the bar for an endorsement.
The Service Employees International Union had no comment at this time.
