Obama appeals to
unions for support
    CINCINNATI — President Barack Obama declared Monday that modern benefits like paid leave, minimum wage and Social Security “all bear the union label,” as he appealed to organized labor to help him win the health care fight in Congress.
    “It was labor that helped build the largest middle class in history. So, even if you’re not a union member, every American owes something to America’s labor movement,” said Obama, whose run for the presidency was energized in no small part by unions.
    Obama asserted that “our recovery plan is working,” but repeated that he won’t be satisfied until jobs are much more plentiful.
    Shortly after taking the oath of office in January, Obama confronted a rapidly deteriorating economy, a clogged credit system, failing or ailing banks and a shaky stock market. He used his speech here to tick off a host of steps the administration has taken to steady the economy, and he made a special pitch for the health care overhaul he has pushed.
    “We have never been this close,” Obama said. “We have never had this broad an agreement on what needs to be done.”
