The Sheet Metal Workers, 95%. The National Education Association, 87%. The American Federation of Teachers, 99%.

Oh, and Big Labor gave a total of $63,000 to Nancy in 2006, placing her ninth on the list of the top 20 politicians in Big Labor’s pocket- a list populated by 19 Democrats……and Bernie Sanders.
