Dems urged for Arizona House by teachers union leader
At the Arizona Federation of Teachers AFL-CIO convention in Scottsdale Jim Whitten urged teachers to back Democratic candidates for the Arizona House of Representatives saying the Senate's Democratic majority last year defeated anti labor bills. The group also backed improving state retirement with medical disability benefits and supported the Tucson police fireman strike. Ken Barcelona and Charles Huggins were re elected president and treasurer with Mary MacDonald and others named as officers. Barcelona said the union would push for statewide collective bargaining for public employees and teachers.
