labor flees Lamb

Local labor leaders are now realizing what we’ve been saying all along: Conor Lamb is simply not who he says he is.

From Payday Report: “Initially, Lamb had pledged to run a populist campaign focusing on unions, coal miner pensions, and his Republican opponents support for repealing the prevailing wage for construction workers on federal projects.

However, so far none of his ads have focused on unions or populist themes related to the economy, instead focusing on vague notions of working across the aisle and taking on leaders in both the Democratic and Republican Parties.”

“Everybody is sort of going through the motions,” said one senior labor official, who declined to go on the record so as not to deflate his union’s turnout effort. “He’s got no fire, he’s got no passion to fight for them, and our members know it.”

P.S. This is the second time in as many days that Conor Lamb has been exposed for failing to live up to the manufactured image he portrays.
