John Edwards has more support from Service Employees International Union members than any other presidential candidate, though not enough yet for an endorsement, said Andy Stern, president of one of the largest U.S. labor groups.

According to the article, 2000 SEIU leaders will meet in Washington next week to hear from the Democratic presidential hopefuls and conduct a straw poll that will guide the powerful union's endorsement.
