HARTFORD — Ahead of Labor Day, the Connecticut AFL-CIO, a federation of hundreds of local unions, rallied its members Friday to back pro-union candidates in November and issued new endorsements in its final political convention. With representatives from 113 local unions gathering at the Hilton Hotel in Hartford, the AFL-CIO endorsed Democratic nominee Susan Bysiewicz for lieutenant governor, although the group backed Bysiewicz’s opponent Eva Bermudez Zimmerman, herself a union organizer, prior to the primary. Democratic nominee for attorney general William Tong, who fell three votes short of winning an AFL-CIO endorsement in June, received the federation’s support Friday.
