In a possible setback for Hillary Clinton, the AFL-CIO’s political committee has recommended the nation’s largest labor union federation delay endorsing a candidate for the 2016 presidential race as it seeks to push her to be more supportive of its policies on issues such as trade and wages.
The committee on Monday voted unanimously to support the proposal, three union sources told Reuters. The recommendation will be presented at a July 29-30 meeting of the executive council of the federation, which will make the final decision. It could reject the recommendation and still go ahead with an endorsement, though one of the sources said that is unlikely.

Can you imagine being in a union that endorses this witch?
When your candidate could go to prison... you may want to wait on an endorsement.
I'm not so sure
Even the card carrying commies don't want to come out of the closet so blatently
It's a sticky wicket for sure with the enemies this cycle
THANK YOU, DONALD TRUMP !
Hillary crash-and-burn watch.
An AFL-CIO endorsement of Sanders would torpedo the nomination chance of Satan’s Prom Queen. She needs the labor union money.
Go Bernie!
I keep thinking the unions are holding out for the Mooch to throw her hat in. 95percent of the back, and a lot of Hispanics along with the moronic votes would get her in.
Actually this is not good. Hillary is the most defeatable candidate the Demonic-rats have.
I think this is the first nail in her presidential coffin.
IOW, the check bounced. Thanks dynachrome.
The rats are likely to lose in 2016 because let’s face it, the Blacks aren’t going to turn out to vote for “Whitey”.
Moochelle? She’ll be ripped to threads in any debate. But that probably doesn’t matter to loyalists! First Black Female Pres?
threads should be shreds!
Yep! A twofer!
If Big Labor were actually big and powerful, it would have been able to use its big power and influence to get Democrats elected to governorships in major states like Ohio and Wisconsin, and those Democratic Governors would now be campaigning for President — not the weak and uncharismatic Hillary who can’t even hold a press conference without falling in the polls or even hold her own against an avowed socialist like Bernie Sanders.
Instead, so many relatively young and charismatic Republicans, from Scott Walker to John Kasich to Ted Cruz and beyond, have won so many major governorships and Senatorial seats in the past ten years and are now campaigning for president that the 2016 Republican debates will feature overflow crowds of candidates packed on the stage like sardines.
Finally, the big unions realize that the Democratic party has reached such a low point, thanks to themselves and the president they helped install in the White House for the past six years, that they’re left with choosing between the lesser of two evils — Bernie and Hillary, who are not only bad in themselves but are seriously dividing the Democrats so that neither can win the presidency.
Nice work, AFL/CIO.
Blacks aren’t going to turn out to vote for “Whitey”.
“vote for the old white woman!” isn’t much of a campaign slogan. haha.
Yep so that’s why GOP will win in Colorado, Ohio and Florida. I hate to say it but Virginia is gone.
