The AFL-CIO is also mentioned. At the very end of the article.

Thank you for the link. A lot of information.

The article closes with:

“Meanwhile, some of the biggest nonlegislative proponents of the train continued to sharply criticize Scott’s decision as they cheered efforts to work around it.

“At least today I’m not using four-letter words,” said Rich Templin, vice president of one of the state’s largest labor unions, the AFL-CIO, which said it backed the idea because it believes the construction and the train would create jobs. “This is a tragedy, a disaster of unmitigated proportions.”
