Union members pack Obama's town halls - Washington Times: "GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. | Andrew Carillo and Melissa McCollister cheered loudly from near the back row of the Central High School gymnasium as President Obama stepped on stage to make his pitch for health care reform.
The two organizers for the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 proudly wore their union T-shirts, and boisterously supported the president because of what they think his initiative will do for the 25,000 grocery stockers, meatpackers and warehouse workers that they represent.
'We have to negotiate for health care every time a contract comes up,' said Mr. Carillo, 24, a union employee. 'Year after year, it just gets more and more expensive.'"
