The United Transportation Union, which represents 125,000 active and retired railroad, bus and public transit workers, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, the first national union endorsement of the 2008 race.
“The UTU has a long history of picking winners early. Hillary will be a president that America’s working families can count on. Time and again, as a United States senator, she has stood with us,â€? said UTU President Paul Thompson, in a press release from Clinton’s campaign.
Clinton, in the release, said she was honored to have the union’s support and also took a slap at the Bush administration.
“America’s workers have been invisible to this administration, and it’s time they had an advocate in the White House,” Clinton said
