Palin is one of the few Republicans that has strong union ties.
McCain touted the fact that Palin, husband of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, belongs to the United Steelworkers during a campaign event Friday.

Palin own experiences with labor have been limited to those she enjoyed giving birth in the hospital while covered by her husband's union benefits. It will be interesting to see if she supports the rights of all Americans to choose to join a union by supporting the Employee Free Choice Act. Barack Obama cosponsored the EFCA, but McCain greatly opposes it.
I support this bill because in order to restore a sense of shared prosperity and security, we need to help working Americans exercise their right to organize under a fair and free process and bargain for their fair share of the wealth our country creates.
The current process for organizing a workplace denies too many workers the ability to do so. -Barack Obama
