Lansing mayor and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Virg Bernero received an endorsement from Michigan AFL-CIO last week, The Associated Press reported.
The AFL-CIO represents more than 600,000 active and retired Michigan union members, including United Auto Workers. Nationwide, the AFL-CIO — which formed when the two organizations merged in 1955 — has more than 11.5 million members.
In a wide-open race that includes House Speaker Andy Dillon, D-Redford Township, and state Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith, D-Salem Township, the AFL-CIO connection could be a huge boost for Bernero as the candidates attempt to accumulate support.

He’s too wishy washy to be a decent governor. He needs to apologize to the people who voted for him. I voted for him, wish I didn’t. Carol Wood might have had issues, but she would have stuck with it.
