In Washington, Democratic leaders in the legislature this session turned down one of their key backer segments – labor – on a number of key items. (One that was notable, limiting employer requirements that workers attend meetings on non-work related matters such as religion or politics, was adopted in Oregon but not Washington. In Idaho – uh, what was the question?) Now labor is looking at payback, which you presume may mean primary challenges, or withholding of funding or campaign troops. (Although, would they withhold in the case of serious Republican challenges? Or would that be what it would be thought to take to make the point?)
How far this goes is up for guess right now. But a piece on the Seattle P-I site is worth a review for a gauge of how deeply the feelings are running. The comments section is very long, and highly passionate.
