United Farm Workers For Clinton
In Salinas, Ca., today, the union -- 27,000 strong -- threw its support behind Hillary Clinton.
"After meeting with and talking to the candidates, the UFW board believes Hillary Clinton to be the strongest, most experienced candidate for President of the United States. She will be able to tackle our nation's toughest problems – health care, improving the economy for working people and repairing our country's standing in the world. Senator Clinton has stood with farm workers and immigrants - fighting for comprehensive immigration reform, sponsoring the UFW sponsored AgJOBS and helping 1,800 farm workers sign a union contract with D'Arrigo after 30 years," said UFW President Arturo Rodriguez in a statement released by HRC's campaign.

How on God's green earth does the UFW endorse Clinton. Clinton's are not a friend of organized labor. That. Is. All.

Hopefully the UFW will change its mind and endorse Barack Obama, who is now backed by the Kennedys. Robert Kennedy broke his back for the farmworkers in California and I doubt Hillary will bring any real changes. She doesn't even support drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. Way to go UFW.
