During the last election cycle, however, the union floated less support than usual to the Democratic nominee. “This is a watershed moment,” said Tom Juravich, director of the Labor Center at UMass Amherst.“What they’re saying with budget cuts is: We need to anticipate this. We need to put some money aside for the kinds of changes that would be catastrophic.”
