Unions launch campaign against Hunter
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 | 8:14 am
A coalition of unions launched an effort online today to keep state Rep. Ross Hunter from becoming the next King County executive.
Its biggest weapon will be Hunter's record in Olympia -- or at least the unions' interpretation of that record.
The Web site is called www.BadDealHunter.com and opens to a page with the headline "Ross Hunter is a bad deal for King County."
The site takes aim at Hunter's role in legislation dealing with issues such as school funding, worker legislation and children's health.
According to a news release issued today, groups involved in the effort include Washington State Labor Council, Washington Education Association, SEIU Locals 775 and 1199NW, UFCW Local 21 and Sheet Metal Workers Local 66.
