AFSCME District Council 33 - which represents the city's blue collar workers and is by far the largest municipal union - has just endorsed Michael Nutter for mayor. D.C. 33 heavily favored U.S. Rep. Bob Brady in the primary, but Nutter was an easy pick for the union over GOP nominee Al Taubenberger.
Nutter and D.C. 33 are all smiles today, but odds are there will be some tough days between the two when city workers' contracts expire next year and a new deal must be hammered out.
