Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports: Expanding on her prior attack on the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, and its extremist platform - formally Project 2025, National AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler directly contrasted the duo and the document with Democratic achievements for Workers and Labor’s strong support for the new Democratic front-runner, Vice President Kamala Harris.  Shuler spoke at the Illinois AFL-CIO Convention amid increasing enthusiasm among Union Leaders and Rank-And-File voters - Union and Non-Union - for the substitution of Harris for incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden atop the party’s ticket this election year.  The Nation’s largest Union- the independent three-million-Member National Education Association (NEA), endorsed Harris on July 31st - the same day Shuler spoke.  So has the United Auto Workers (UAW).  Both endorsements free up Union People Power and voluntary campaign contributions for Harris.  Said Shuler: “(Vance is) demeaning Women, calling them ‘childless cat ladies.’  And he doesn’t want them working outside the home.  Women are half the country!  They’re also half the paid U.S. Workforce.  Do you think they’re going to be our champions?”
