Sorry, if this has been posted already. I couldn't find it. Bernie Sanders today collected endorsements from 3 New Hampshire Unions.

The Bern was felt by The American Postal Workers Union of New Hampshire as well as the SEIU local 560 and IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) Local 490.
The local Postal Workers Union has about 1500 members, including retirees.
"He has been a forceful advocate for working people in many ways, fighting for paid family medical leave & a livable wage, while rejecting unfair trade deals that favor special interests. His focus is always on creating opportunities that lift the middle class and those living in poverty," said Janice Kelble, Legislative Director for the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) Manchester Area Local #230 & the NH Postal Workers Union
The SEIU chapter, based out of Hanover, has more than 500 members and unanimously backed Bernie.
“There is no better candidate for organized labor to back then Bernie Sanders,” (union trustee) Peter Marsh said. “He is everything that labor says they are. [Sanders], quite frankly, is the most honest politician in Washington.”
The IBEW chapter has 485 members.
The members of IBEW 490 have spoken,” said Local Union 490 Business Manager Denis R. Beaudoin Sr. in a news release.
“At our last meeting, our members were in overwhelming support of a candidate that they feel has always, and will always fight for what they believe in: good wages, strong benefits like sound retirement and health care coverage for workers, and the creation and protection of good jobs that can provide these benefits right here in New Hampshire."
I'm sure all Bernie backers are happy for so much support for our candidate from these hard working men and women.
