Hillary Pledges Union-friendly Administration
Hillary Clinton promised cheering Steelworkers union members today that she would offer a labor-friendly White House and would promote manufacturing if elected president. The Democratic senator from New York says she hears people say that manufacturing cannot be revived, but she disagrees. She says a revival could come through targeted high-tech industries. Clinton drew cheers with commitments to legislation making it easier for union membership drives and a promise to make union-friendly appointments. She avoided discussion of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which unions blame for the loss of jobs, but promised to make sure trade agreement provisions are kept to insure fair trade.
Story Continues Below Unlike fellow Democratic candidates John Edwards, Joe Biden and Dennis Kucinich, who spoke to the conference yesterday and took questions from the floor, Clinton left without participating in a question & answer session planned by the union.
