Mayor RT Rybak who is rumored to be endorsed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) apparently doesn’t have the greatest rapport with labor members.

It will be interesting to see if the local SEIU members are still willing to endorse Rybak after his history of being unfriendly to labor.
