Democrats lean on unions to win 2004 election strategy
Harold Meyerson argues that labor unions have rebuilt their political operation since 1995 led by John Sweeney and Jerry McEntee. A $30 million 527 mobilization plan aims to broaden turnout beyond union households, targeting African Americans Latinos and working women. Internal turf fighting and resignations challenge the Partnership for America's Families, but allies insist the labor-based model remains essential for a Democratic victory in 2004.
