Teamsters endorse Onorato

 

The Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters, representing about 92,000 workers statewide, will endorse Democrat Dan Onorato for governor at a news conference tomorrow in Philadelphia, the Onorato campaign announced.

The Teamsters will become the first statewide union to endorse a candidate in the May 18 Democratic primary for governor.

The move will come two days in advance of the Democratic State Committee meeting on Saturday in Lancaster, at which party leaders from around the state will consider whether to endorse any of the four Democrats in the race. Party rules say it takes a two-thirds majority for any candidate to win endorsement.

  1. I’d like to hear more about the Teamsters’ run-ins with Waste Management, a big funder of Tom Corbett. Is Corbett, the former General Counsel of Waste Management, using his prosecutorial power to promote an anti-union agenda? Any thoughts?
