  Ackerman mobilizes labor unions to put a Democrat in the White House - The Boston Globe

Ackerman is no political novice; in the early 1990s, she helped elect and then spent five years working on Capitol Hill for Representative Nydia Velazquez, a New York Democrat.
But Ackerman's heart was in organized labor: In 1996 she moved to the AFL-CIO as deputy political director and in March became a female boss in a male-dominated organization.
