Major Unions Telling Hillary To Quit For Good Of Party
The Hill:

AUSTIN, Texas — Major organized labor endorsements continue to be delivered to Sen. Barack Obama, with union leaders increasingly sending signals that they believe the time is rapidly approaching for Sen. Hillary Clinton to exit the Democratic nomination race.
“We do think it is time to bring this nomination process to a close,” said Anna Burger, chair of Change to Win, an umbrella group that represents seven unions with 6 million members.
Burger made the comment during a conference call with reporters to announce the group’s endorsement for Obama.
“There is certainly a movement blowing here,” she said, adding that it may be time for Clinton to “recognize” that Obama is benefiting from that desire for change.
“Every time there is a primary, he surges forward,” Burger said. “It looks like he is going to be the nominee…We are hoping to get to that point sooner than later.”
Burger said Change to Win has 175,000 members in Ohio and 60,000 in Texas. Those states will hold primaries on March 4 and are increasingly being viewed as must-wins for Clinton.
Of the group’s seven unions, four had already endorsed the Illinois Democrat: the Service Employees International Union, UNITE Here, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the United Food and Commercial Workers.
