As the 2020 general election looms closer, the labor movement is chasing its tail trying to decide whether or not they will ever see whole-hearted, labor-friendly reform effort from Democrats.

The In These Times story linked to above provides this assessment of where some of the leading Democratic candidates stand on the issues.
