Big Labor & Big Unions Choose Their Governor
BIG LABOR & BIG UNIONS CHOOSE A GOVERNORThompson Endorsed By AFT-WV & WVEA
CHARLESTON, WV – Rick Thompson, a plaintiff’s attorney and Speaker of the House of Delegates, received the endorsement of American Federation of Teachers-WV and the National Education Association yesterday. It is anticipated that Thompson will soon receive the endorsement of the AFL-CIO.
“Big labor and big unions have made Rick Thompson their choice for Governor,” said Mike Stuart, Chairman of the West Virginia Republican Party. “It is the payback for all his work in the House of Delegates to deliver an Obama-style tax and spend government to West Virginia. It is the intent of the big union bosses that the real payback will begin in October.”
“Even better news for Thompson, it looks like he may roll a perfect trifecta – getting the AFL-CIO endorsement too,” said Stuart. “Given Thompson’s record as Speaker in the past session, it was an easy choice for the big unions. Thompson’s support of more than $1 billion in new spending, a resolution in support of the public unions in Wisconsin, his blockage of an intermediate court of appeals and stopping the elimination of the food tax was more than any union boss could dream up. We commend him on his active support by the perpetrators of the Axis of Unemployment.”
“West Virginians – Democrats and Republicans – cannot survive the tax and spend policies or the control of the union bosses that would be the hallmark of a Thompson governorship,” said Stuart.
“Every West Virginian should be very concerned by these endorsements. We cannot let the union bosses and the far left liberals have more control than they already have over West Virginia,” concluded Stuart. “Any chance of building a better West Virginia with more jobs will only be possible by building a better business climate and by creating a more reasonable balance between organized labor and the business community. A Thompson governorship would be very big step in the wrong direction.”
