Agree on whip strategy.

Nikki, Looking at the priorities below can you touch base w our Iowa folks
and see what something could look like btwn now and sept10.  Then, when we
have Iowa dates, you will have already worked out what it could look like.
Ok w u Marlon?

I don't know those three unions very well.  I think we should do exactly
what you propose--lobby their leadership hard to at least prevent them from
endorsing Bernie.
Are any of our close labor friends close to their presidents or board
members?  For example, I recall that Weeks used to work for APWU.  Not sure
if any of the same leaders are there still.  But it might be worth a
brainstorm conversation with our closest supporters to set up a little whip
strategy.

I've spoken with CWA and ATU and Nurses after the event at John's home. I'm
connecting Maya with ATU on a policy piece.  Nurses have sent us their
questionnaire now.  I'm staying in touch with them.

Also, I'm doing a research project on their executive boards.  Where are
they from, background, is anyone of possible help internally.  I'll have
that done by Monday.

Last, I'm meeting with Heather Beaudoin and Erin Stevens on July 27th.
Since both Hanley and Shelton are from New York can we put together a New
York labor outreach plan to at least keep them neutral.

What do you think?

Are we doing any outreach to the at risk unions?

Hi everyone
A quick labor update tonight.

1.  Lots of AFL-CIO internal drama around the AFT endorsement this week.
AFSCME, IAM, IAFF holding strong.  The contingent of unions upset with AFT
include:  ATU, APWU, CWA and Nurses (these unions are on my Sanders watch
list).

2.  Need to lock down IAM and AFSCME for endorsement.  There are two events
we need to schedule to secure their endorsement.

*IAM Executive Board Meeting*
IAM is letting me know if August 13th is a option for HRC.  Their request
was August 14th.  I will know Monday.  This event would be HRC accepting
their endorsement.

*AFSCME Small Member Roundtable-Iowa*
The last step in AFSCME's endorsement process, we need to lock down.
AFSCME's board meets to endorse HRC on September 10-11th.  In order for the
endorsement to happen I need 60 minutes in Iowa with AFSCME members and HRC
in August.  Can this be scheduled around another Iowa trip in August?
AFSCME is after me for the date.

3.  Next week AFT and IAFF-I have scheduled two days of in person meetings
with the H4A team next week.
Tuesday, July 21st 11-3pm  AFT Senior Staff
Wednesday, July 22nd 1-5pm IAFF Senior staff

Please stop by if you can!  Both days I have scheduled for them to meet
with Communications/Digital, Policy, Political, States and Delegate
Selection.  IAFF also requested a meeting with Advance.  (*Robby please
note dinner with IAFF on 7/22)

4.  AFL-CIO Executive Council Prep-Please let me know if I can do anything
to assist.  I flagged some issues for your attention around TPP (Malaysia),
Cadillac Tax and HRC statement yesterday $15 in NH.  Those are issues areas
I think will come up.

5.  SEIU-I've touched base with Peter Colavito with SEIU Intl.  They would
like to know about California dates for their home care event.  In order to
circle back with Local 1199, John would you be willing to touch base with
George?  I'm trying to think of a creative way to keep them with us while
we move the home care event with HRC to California.  Advice is welcomed!

6.  NEA New Hampshire-I've kept in touch with our New Hampshire team and
HRC is still on track to receive the NH NEA State endorsement, likely
August 4th.  This will be the first endorsement after AFT.
