"We certainly appreciate her leadership on those issues," Cashen said, adding that other 2008 presidential contenders would be invited to address the UFCW board throughout the year. Cashen declined to say whether the union intends to endorse a candidate.

It really shouldn't surprise anyone that Hillary is meeting with the labor unions. I can't find much detailed information on Hillary's economic policy yet, but I have found that she tends to want to expand many so-called "entitlement" programs.(Universal health care, Social Security, etc..) If she is consistent in this belief then it would indicate that she tends to favor a socialist economy over a capitalist economy. Said another way this is favoring government control of the economy over free market principles. This type of policy falls right in line with the Labor Unions. I anticipate that she will be one of their strongest allies if elected.
