Major Unions with Large Hispanic Memberships Endorse Obama

The Service Employees International Union, with over 1.9 million members, and the United Food and Commercial Workers, with 1.1 million members, endorsed Senator Obama Thursday. As a result of these two endorsements, as well as that of Unite Here, which represents hotel, restaurant, apparel and laundry workers, Mr. Obama has the backing of three unions that have large Hispanic memberships and especially strong ties to the nation’s immigrant community. Join Latinos for Obama today and help Senator Obama continue win the Latino vote in the upcoming primaries in Wisconsin, Ohio and Texas.

This a good point UNITE HERE organizes the front line of workers, many of whom are Latino/a.
