I've just been informed that United Association (the umbrella union organization for plumbers and pipe fitters) has chosen to endorse Don Cazyoux in LA-06.

An official event for this should be taking place on next Saturday. Details to come...

UPDATE:Local 198 will be organizing a GOTV drive this Saturday, March 1 at 3 PM at their Union Hall, which is located at 5888 Airline Hwy in Baton Rouge.

I presume the Louisiana chapter of UA is endorsing? (0.00 / 0)
Welcome to the front page, by the way.

"I was against NAFTA and CAFTA, and I'll be against SHAFTA."

Why next Saturday? (0.00 / 0)
That's the day of the primary.  Makes more sense if it's this Saturday.

"I was against NAFTA and CAFTA, and I'll be against SHAFTA."

Ryan, I stink at editing diaries, so how about this: (0.00 / 1)
It's not the whole UA, just the Baton Rouge Area Chapter, Local Union 198.

Local 198 will be organizing  a GOTV drive among their membership (several thousand in the Baton Rouge area) (not sure if it's knocking on doors on making phone calls to union members) for Representative Cazayoux, at 3:00 PM at the Union Hall at:
March 1, 3:00 PM
5888 Airline Hwy
Baton Rouge, LA 70805

The local union bosses are really excited now, as for the first time in a decade, labor will have a voice in LA-06. This is particularly exciting, as Baker was consistently one of the most anti-union Congressmen about.

And, for the record, the whole UA are endorsing Barack Obama.

No, you don't stink ... (0.00 / 0)
You did a damn good job for a first time diary.

"I was against NAFTA and CAFTA, and I'll be against SHAFTA."

Good to see (0.00 / 0)
I hope Don can pull this one out. Would be a great help to the Dem party here in LA.
