AFL-CIO endorses Meek for U.S. Senate,

by Michael C. Bender | May 23rd, 2010
Florida’s largest labor union gave Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Kendrick Meek its full endorsement, The Palm Beach Post has learned.

The Florida AFL-CIO is in a private meeting this morning to consider endorsements for a slate of state and federal candidates.

Meek got a scare from independent candidate Charlie Crist, who has strong support among the state’s teachers unions. But Meek avoided a potential embarrassment with a rousing speech to the group on Saturday.
