Labor Intensity in Iowa Politics Cited by Mills
Des Moines AFL-CIO President Ray Mills says labor will intensify political efforts this year but will not endorse candidates in the June primaries. COPE will endorse after the primaries, and questionnaires will gauge candidate positions on unemployment, sales taxes, and right to work. Mills criticizes Iowa unemployment benefits as insufficient and announces a push to repeal the state right to work law. He also notes labor-friendly candidates and discusses new highway patrol safety gear and possible investigations into election practices.
