WASHINGTON - The coalition of unions that once backed Dick Gephardt in his presidential bid on Wednesday gave its expected endorsement to Democratic front-runner John Kerry.

The 19 unions that formed the Alliance for Economic Justice voted unanimously to get behind Kerry. An endorsement rally, timed for the Wisconsin primary on Tuesday, is planned in Milwaukee with Kerry, Gephardt and the unions' presidents.


"We support his candidacy, and we're going to work to make sure he's the next president of the United States," said Bret Caldwell, spokesman for the Teamsters, a leading union in the new alliance of blue-collar unions, which also includes the machinists, steelworkers, laborers and paperworkers.
