UAW endorses Mongiardo for U.S. Senate
Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo
FRANKFORT — Democratic Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo has picked up the endorsement of the United Auto Workers Region 3, representing Kentucky and Indiana, for his campaign for the U.S. Senate.
“As a doctor, Dan Mongiardo clearly understands America’s patchwork health care system is broken. He knows first-hand how people suffer when they do not have access to health care. More importantly, he has the vision and the courage to do something about it,” UAW Region 3 director Maurice “Mo” Davison said in a statement.
The UAW Region 3 represents over 12,000 workers in Kentucky, including autoworkers at Louisville’s Ford plants and Bowling Green’s Corvette plant.

Wow, the UAW endorsed a Democrat. What a schock.Oh, I forgot, they are not allowed to endorse anyone else.
Dr. Dan having the UAW seal of approval is like Vito Corleone getting the approval of Tony Soprano. Two crooked bums who like each other.
Conway can’t even get the endorsement of the Unreliable Awful Workers, whose only local in the state is in Conway’s home tome? Wow, pretty much the entire DEM base is having to admit what a crap-tastic job he is doing as Attorney General.
The unions have given me more freedom and a higher standard of life than any institution, and I am not even a union member.
I would also point out that anti-unionism was a result of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s. The klan didn\’t like the fact that most union members were Catholic and were not of British decent.
Actually unions are were some of the biggest racist organizations around. Throughout the early part of the 20th Century they worked tirelessly to keep blacks out of certain jobs, that were for “whites only.” When businesses would hire so-called “scabs” they were often blacks. Which gave the openly racist white union thugs license to beat the crap out of them for the crime of “strikebreaking”.
In fact most of the New Deal pro-union polices were meant to give unions free reign to discriminate against blacks by making jobs only available to union. members. Blacks at that time were to poor to join a union, even if they were allowed to join. Which might expalin why even today most of the union leadership is “whites only”.
No I don\’t think so Big Ben. You probably read that on the revisionist history site Mises. If anything unions have promoted the rights of African Americans. Groups like the Klan emerged to stop unions because they were made up of Catholics and immmigrants.
