Pa. labor offers Specter a deal

By Thomas Fitzgerald

Inquirer Staff Writer

Pennsylvania AFL-CIO president Bill George said yesterday that he and other labor leaders have told Sen. Arlen Specter (R., Pa.) that they would help him survive a primary challenge next year if he supports legislation that makes it easier to unionize workers.

"If he's there for us, we'll be there for him," George said in an interview. "We would do everything we can to make sure he wins," he said, including efforts to persuade union members to register as Republicans so they could back Specter at the polls.

The spector of Specter's demise would certainly be worthy of a good swallow of the stout. I'll join you.

According to the article he said:

"It's a very heavily lobbied item and I'm hearing from all sides, and I'm going to listen to what people have to say," Specter said on the Fred Honsberger show on Pittsburgh's KDKA radio. "But I've made no deals, Fred, and I do not make deals like that."

Guess he forgot about all the deals he made with the Dems to sell his vote on the stimulus package. :))

I got all excited when I read the Title of the thread RT.....I was hoping they offered him a JOB with the union.

Unions, even with their low percentage of membership, have been getting real gutsy lately ..... gee I wonder why :think:
