UAW President Dennis Williams just announced the endorsement of Hillary Clinton by the United Auto Workers, one of the biggest and most influential industrial unions in the US.
The UAW today endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, citing her support for UAW members, her lifelong commitment to the job security of American families, and her ability to unify and win in November.
“Hillary Clinton understands our issues on trade, understands the complexities of multinational economies and supports American workers, their families and communities,” said UAW President Dennis Williams.
Now is a time for unity, a time to focus on what lies ahead in November. Bernie Sanders has brought to this campaign a dialogue that has been needed for far too long. He has been, and remains, a great friend of the UAW, and of working men and women in this country. But, the fact is, Hillary Clinton has shown under pressure her ability to lead and get elected in November.

Timing, of course, is interesting, with California and New Jersey primaries coming up. Yet another sign that progressives are unifying behind HRC.
