I support gay unions. I think the government should get out of the marriage business completely - leave marriages to the churches. And grant civil unions to gay couples, grant civil unions to a man and woman.

Hey, I'm a former union president myself and also an attorney that represented a lot of unions.

I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life.

I'm pro Union.

Starting that union was something I believed in very strongly.

I support the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

I've always had a very positive relationship with the municipal labor unions - a respectful relationship.

I'm a big believer in the value of labor unions and with what collective effort gets people.

My parents were both union members, and I grew up hearing how important it was to empower workers and have fair labor practices.

I was for civil unions and believed strongly that the flow of benefits and protections that would be provided in a civil union for same-sex couples, the decisions that have to be made, when health hardships are faced, when economic hardships are faced, I wanted all of those protections. I never strayed from them.
