The AFL-CIO is overly cautious with its endorsements.  This is a thank you to 
incumbents who have supported projects that their membership support.  The other 
unions will likely follow the AFL-CIO's endorsements.

However, in races where there was no endorsement, the other unions will be free to 
endorse a candidate.  The Building Trades will announce endorsements soon, and the 
Teamsters will endorse in a few weeks.
