Here's the announcement!!!
http://www.seiu.org/action_center/presidential_endorsement.cfm"Citing the former Vermont governor’s commitment to health care and workers’ rights, the 1.6 million-member Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the largest union of health care workers in the country, today announced that it has endorsed Dr. Howard Dean for President of the United States.
SEIU’s decision, which was made last Thursday during a meeting of local union leaders from across the country, is the result of a long and thorough decision-making process that began with – and ends with – SEIU’s members.
“Howard Dean understands health care, and he's got a vision and a plan to make things right," said Mark Trombitas, a direct care worker in Youngstown, Ohio. Mark, who works with the developmentally disabled, added that he was encouraged to learn that Dean is a doctor with “a proven track record in Vermont - he delivered health care to the kids.”
