American Postal Workers Union Executive Board Endorses Bernie Sanders for President

“Politics as usual has not worked. It’s time for a political revolution,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “We should judge candidates not by their political party, not by what they say, not by what we think they stand for, but by what they do.

Not in the primary that is. I wouldn't want to start a hair on fire thing about not voting for him in the general. Quite a few of my fellow union members are wing nuts.
By the way, where is the meme that the union bosses don't represent the workers in this endorsement?
