All true, but Clinton also appointed a more pro-labor NLRB, as opposed to his predecessors, who appointed Donald Dotson, now head of HR for Beverly Enterprises. Under Dotson's "leadership", Beverly acted in such a way as to merit the first ever nationwide cease and desist order for unfair labor practices. The time frame for representation elections from filing to election went from several months under Bush/Reagan to 43 days under Clinton.
As I see it, the only principled option is to support Gore based on these slight improvements while continuing to organize and build a mass movement while building coalitions with other groups and criticizing all he does wrong.
