Webb Finally Takes a Stand on Issues – Joins Weed in Siding with Labor Unions

On Halloween, U.S. Senate Candidate Jim Webb offered his support to the striking workers at Danville's Goodyear plant. These are the same union members who were "yelling and gesturing" at replacement workers and necessitated police involvement.

Mr. Webb said:

"You'll get two things out of me if you support me -- you're going to need a voice, not only in Congress, but somebody who will sit down and try to speak reasonably with the companies."

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported, "Webb enjoys the support of organized labor and picked up the endorsement of the steelworkers this summer."

Webb isn't the only politician to visit the striking union workers. Congressional candidate Al Weed has made multiple trips to visit the picketers.

"Everybody should want to stand with them," Weed said Tuesday, adding the union members were fighting for the rights of all working people when they went out on strike.

These union groups fight against Right-to-Work laws, oppose free trade and maliciously target successful businesses. Because of Virginia's strong Right-to-Work law and other pro-business policies, companies want to move their operations to Virginia.

You can tell a lot about a man by who his friends are, and Mr. Webb and Mr. Weed's friends support policies that will choke Virginia's vibrant business climate.
