SAN FRANCISCO (AP/KCBS) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton is urging members of a public employees union to work hard for the man who beat her for the Democratic nomination for president, Sen. Barack Obama.
Clinton spoke to nearly 6,000 union delegates and guests at the 38th international convention of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees on Thursday, thanking one of her strongest backers during the primary. She basked in a standing ovation, raucous applause and cries of "We love you, Hillary."
Obama later addressed the convention via satellite. The Illinois senator secured the union's endorsement last month.
AFSCME is the largest union for workers in the public service sector with 1.4 million members nationwide, including bus drivers, child care providers, custodians and librarians.
