From the CFL press release, "The Chicago Federation of Labor is the central labor body covering Chicago and Cook County. The CFL has 300 affiliated labor unions comprised of approximately half a million union members. The endorsements were decided by the CFL Committee on Political Education, with delegates from all affiliated unions."

I'd seen a post on a candidate's Facebook page over the weekend about the CFL endorsements, but Illinoize beat me to the punch in posting this information.
