15. "We want results, not pandering."

Michael Bertolone, the business manager for the operating engineers local, summed up his group’s endorsement of Husted in blunter terms: “We want results, not pandering.”

I would LOVE to know how many things were accomplished on behalf of their union members by a republican. I haven't lived in Ohio in a while but as far as I can remember since Mr Raygun was prez- NADA, none, nothing. But someone prove me wrong. Every republican state has done nothing but water down labor laws, OSHA, and anything else helpful to unions. The rule of a repug candidate towards unions has only been pander and ignore after in office. I am afraid they will gain nothing, and might even lose what little they have left. I would be voting this leadership out of my local.
