Five Presidential Candidates Meet with AFL-CIO Leaders

The AFL-CIO Executive Council met with five announced candidates for the Presidency of the U.S., four Democrats and one Republican.

All candidates who submitted responses to survey questions by the AFL-CIO were invited; the five who responded were (in order of appearance) Mike Huckabee, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Hillary Clinton and Jim Webb.

In individual sessions, candidates were questioned about trade policy, how they will make the economy fairer for working families, supporting and strengthening collective bargaining and other issues.
