Labor split over Gephardt Edwards as Kerry VP pick
Labor factions try to influence Kerry on a vice presidential choice between Dick Gephardt and John Edwards. Unions split, with blue collar groups backing Gephardt and service and public employee unions leaning Edwards, while urging Kerry to decide soon before the Boston convention. Bruce Raynor of UNITE backs Edwards and notes his recent union merger leadership. Hoffa and Teamsters push Gephardt for the trade and jobs loyalty he offers.
