I cannot imagine Bill (Glass Steagall) Clinton attending Labor Day anywhere. That's an improvement. But Obama is no friend of Labor. Does he invite the USW President into the Oval Office on TPP? Attacking Syria? Attacking Syria's enemies, ISIS? Wiretapping USW members? Reading USW private internet communications?

Ask Obama if he's jailed enough Journalists? He is still pursuing Ed Snowden, James Risen (NYT) and Julian Assonge. He's an Authoritarian DINO. Join VeniceRadio.org. A true Labor Radio station.
