Hillary Clinton addresses annual union meeting at the Cobo Center in Detroit

Candidate pivots to
general election at
speech to organized

labor in Detroit

By LYDIA MURRAY and

LARA MOEHLMAN

Summer Managing News Editor

and Summer Editor in Chief

DETROIT—
Democratic

frontrunner
Hillary
Clinton

returned
to
Detroit
Monday,

where she addressed thousands at
a Service Employees International
Union convention at the Cobo
Center.
During
her
remarks

she issued biting criticism of
presumptive Republican nominee
Donald Trump in addition to
discussing reforms to minimum
wage and child care.

The
SEIU,
a
union

headquartered
in
Washington

D.C., has a membership of over
1.9 million workers spanning the
United States, Puerto Rico and
Canada. Membership is comprised
of mostly health care workers —

including home care, nursing home
and hospital employees. Many
other members occupy public
service or property management
positions,
including
custodial,

security and food service jobs.

SEIU is also a major force of

support for such labor reforms
as the Obama administration’s
Affordable Care Act, increased
minimum wage laws and wage
increases for food workers —
many of which are supported by
Clinton’s campaign.

During her remarks, Clinton

reaffirmed
her
support
for

the SEIU and all its members,
thanking them for their continued
support for her campaign.

The SEIU officially endorses

Clinton; however, in the state
of
Michigan

which
has

traditionally voted for Democratic
candidates — this year the contest
is more unpredictable with the
majority of current polls showing
Clinton
defeating
presumptive

Republican
nominee
Donald

Trump by several points, but
several showing a tie or virtual
tie in the state, according to
RealClearPolitics.

Clinton currently plans an

early focus on Rust Belt states,
including
Michigan,
where

there are an abundance of white,
working class voters — a group
from which Trump has received
a large portion of his support. A
recent CBS/New York Times poll
showed him leading with white
voters without a college degree by
20 points over Clinton.

The Clinton campaign has also

announced a shift in attention
to the general election, noted
through her attacks on Trump
during her remarks.

Clinton
notably
attacked

Trump’s
business
record,

suggesting his accomplishments
are not as grand as he makes them
out to be.

“He could bankrupt America

like
he’s
bankrupted
his

companies,” Clinton said. “I mean,
ask yourself: How can anybody
lose money running a casino?
Really.”

Clinton also spoke out against

Trump’s stances on immigration,
in which he has stated he
plans to deport all 11 million
undocumented immigrants in the
United States. Clinton emphasized

Residents say

administration’s

compliance ‘ushers

in a new era’

By BRIAN KUANG

Summer Daily News Editor

Facing
concerted
community

opposition,
the
University
of

Michigan
announced
Tuesday

that it would be cancelling the
construction of its controversial
North
Campus
transportation

maintenance center.

The
facility
was
originally

approved by the Board of Regents
in 2014 and was intended to serve as
a repair center for the University’s
fleet of buses and other vehicles.
However, as the project began to
move forward in February, nearby
residents openly opposed it amid
concerns of air pollution and traffic
congestion.

Under pressure from Ann Arbor

homeowners’
associations
and

City Council members, University
President Mark Schlissel postponed
the project in March to negotiate
with community stakeholders.

The
Northeast
Ann
Arbor

Community Coalition — which
represents nearby residents opposed
to the project and numbers about
600 households — has continued
to protest the board’s meetings and
recently called on its members to
halt donations to the University,
claiming the negotiation process
continues to lack transparency.

This conflict is one of the latest

between the University and city
of Ann Arbor partially stemming
from the University’s ability to
largely circumvent city zoning laws
