In another sign that labor is serious about backing a 2010 primary challenger to newly-minted Democrat Arlen Specter, a coalition of unions is going up on the air in Pennsylvania with a statewide ad demanding that he back the Employee Free Choice Act, labor’s top priority.

The ad, which is paid for by the labor-backed American Rights at Work, makes the threat of a primary challenge pretty explicit.
“Where will Specter stand?” it asks. “With Obama, Biden, and the working families of Pennsylvania…Or with greedy CEOs, and Big Business lobbyists?”
“Call and Tell Specter Pennsylvania’s for him,” it concludes, “As long as he’s for the Employee Free Choice Act.”
