Unions spend
in bid to damage Romney

Several
unions that back President Obama’s reelection bid are spending big in an effort
to damage Mitt Romney in key GOP primary states.
Unions
including The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are making ad buys to
hit the Republican presidential contenders on issues key to their members, including immigration reform and the
bailout of the auto industry.
The primary
focus of the attacks, however, has been Romney, who appears likely to face off
against Obama in the fall.
Larry
Scanlon, AFSCME's political director, told The Hill that while Romney has yet
to officially sow up the nomination, the general election season has begun.
"Our
position is: We are in a general election now. We want voters to hear our
message," Scanlon said. "We have endorsed Obama, and we're going to
do what we can to get him reelected."
AFSCME,
the country’s largest public sector union, spent $500,000 on Internet,
television and radio ads to air in Ohio that target Romney before the state’s
GOP presidential primary this coming Tuesday, according to Federal Election
Commission (FEC) records. Last month, the union also spent $1 million on
Internet and television ads opposing Romney in Florida before that state’s GOP
presidential primary.
Scanlon
said the large expenditures were not intended to influence GOP contests, but
rather to define Romney for all voters.
“We
didn't have any expectations that we would influence the Republican
presidential primary in a major way,” Scanlon said. “The point is that for that
week or two in that state, voters will be tuned in and paying attention. We
think it's a good opportunity to get our message out along these general
election themes.”
Scanlon
also said that unlike other GOP candidates, the ex-Massachusetts governor has
concentrated on issues key to labor.
“Romney
has been talking about our issues, workers' issues, and he's on the wrong side
of those issues. So that's why we're going after him,” Scanlon said.
A
spokeswoman for Romney’s campaign said unions are attacking him because he has
stood up to labor.
“Union
bosses have repeatedly attacked Mitt Romney in this campaign because they know
he will end the sweetheart deals they have enjoyed under President Obama. Mitt
Romney has fought labor bosses before and he will fight them again,” said
Andrea Saul, the Romney spokeswoman.
Other
unions are also training their fire on Romney.
SEIU
spent more than $86,000 on radio ads in Florida and Nevada that criticized the
former Massachusetts governor on immigration. Brandon Davis, SEIU’s political
director, said the union’s members took issue with Romney’s Spanish-language
ads in the state.
“He’s
speaking with two faces here,” Davis said. “He's trying to say one thing in
Spanish and one thing in English, and we couldn't let that go unchallenged.”
SEIU
spent more than $86,000 on radio ads in Florida and Nevada that criticized the
former Massachusetts governor on immigration. Brandon Davis, SEIU’s political
director, said the union’s members took issue with Romney’s Spanish-language
ad.
“His
Spanish-language ads say Romney ‘believes in us,’ but his deeds speak for
themselves,” the ad said, adding that Romney would veto the DREAM Act, which
would provide a path to citizenship for some qualified illegal immigrants who
enter the military or go to college.
The United Auto Workers,
meanwhile, has been highly critical of Romney’s stance on government loans that
Obama argues kept the auto industry alive.
On
Feb. 24, union members held a rally outside Detroit’s Ford Field, where Romney
was giving a speech on the economy. The UAW wanted to remind Romney that “he
turned his back on an iconic American industry, the city of Detroit, the state of
Michigan and millions of American jobs,” according to a press release.
The
International Association of Machinists has been active in the GOP presidential
primary as well. In January, the union spent $100,000 on a television ad buy in
the Charleston, S.C. market, running during the week of the South Carolina
primary.
“We
watched a lot of Republican politicians parade through the state over the past
year, bashing us and castigating the National Labor Relations Board [NLRB] for
enforcing the law as it's written,” said Rick Sloan, the Machinists’
communications director. “We just wanted to remind folks that when workers
stand together, we win, they lose.”
The
Machinists’ television ad didn’t name-check Romney but did highlight a quote
from him regarding “union stooges” at the NLRB.
Republican
candidates were taking issue with the labor board’s complaint against Boeing
for allegedly retaliating against union workers.
The
complaint, stemming from a Machinists’ grievance, was filed after the company
started a new production line for its 787 Dreamliner jet in South Carolina, a
right-to-work state. The move came after Boeing executives expressed worry
about stoppages at their unionized operations in the state of Washington. The
NLRB alleged the company was penalizing union workers.
Several
GOP presidential candidates visited the South Carolina facility in question,
including Romney. The labor board has since dropped the complaint against
Boeing after the Machinists and Boeing came to a new agreement.
Beyond
the television ad, Sloan said he wasn’t sure if his union would involve itself
more in the GOP presidential primary.
“I
think the larger unions will continue to play. I'm not sure we will. We had a
specific reason to get into the South Carolina primary,” Sloan said.
Scanlon
of AFCSME said he doesn’t know if the public sector union will continue to
spend money pivoting off the GOP presidential primary.
“It
will be based on what are the hot issues for that state and whether we can
reach voters there,” Scanlon said. “Union density plays into it as well.”
OBAMA’S
SABOTAGE OF E-VERIFY:
FROM HIS VERY FIRST DAY IN OFFICE, OBAMA HAS LIED TO THIS
NATION AS HE SERVICED HIS BANKSTER DONORS, AND BUILT HIS LA RAZA “THE RACE”
PARTY BASE of ILLEGALS!
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS INFESTED WITH CRIMINAL
BANKSTERS, LIKE TIM GEITHNER, AND LA RAZA SUPREMACIST, LIKE OBAMA’S SEC. of
LABOR HILDA SOLIS, OR LA RAZA V.P. CECELIA MUNOZ.
