Winnebago County Labor Council Endorses Local Candidates

On February 27th at the general meeting of the WCLC AFL-CIO, the following local Candidates were endorsed. The Winnebago County Labor Council is the local chapter of the AFL-CIO in Winnebago County.

For City Council: Bryan Bain, Jessica King, and Tony Palmeri.
For Oshkosh School Board: Karen Bowen and Teresa Thiel.
For Mayor: No endorsement

Council President Stephen Dedow stated "Our endorsement process for 2007 was based off of Candidate responses to a mailed questionnaire dealing with working family issues. To be endorsed, a Candidate had to receive at least 90% of the vote from our delegates. We, as a group, feel that the Candidates selected would best represent working families if elected to their respective positions."

I find it odd Karen Bowen gets an endorsement from the Winnebago County Labor Council, and then votes to eliminate 5 union employees (custodians) from the Oshkosh School District and replace them with non-union employees.
