DescriptionMayor Mike Bloomberg seeks endorsement from Working Families Party
Monday, April 13th 2009, 4:00 AM

Or, at the very least, they aim to block a Democrat from getting it.

One labor leader said Bloomberg's campaign has been "diligently working" the WFP's executive committee and "relentless" in its pursuit of union support. They've dispatched multiple emissaries to woo labor leaders.
