Endorsements

Labor unions
On August 4, the New Jersey AFL-CIO voted to deny 22 Democrats, most notably Senators Stephen Sweeney and Donald Norcross, their endorsement in the 2011 general election. Earlier this year, these Democrats crossed the aisle and voted in favor of preventing public employee unions from collectively bargaining for health benefits and pensions--a move opposed by state labor unions.[8][9]
Four Assembly Democrats (also union officials) who voted against the revocation of bargaining rights received enthusiastic endorsements-- Egan, Wayne DeAngelo, Thomas Giblin and Nelson Albano all received endorsements on August 4.[8]
