SACRAMENTO – Organized labor's attempt to reserve all of its political firepower for Gov. Gray Davis in the recall campaign began to crumble Monday when three major unions endorsed Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante as an alternative candidate.

The California State Employees Association, followed by the Association of Highway Patrolmen, said they will embrace Bustamante's campaign theme, urging their members and the public to oppose the recall but vote for Bustamante should Davis be removed. The carpenters' union simply endorsed Bustamante.

They are the first to abandon labor's call to coalesce behind the embattled Democratic governor as the best stategy against the recall. Several more powerful unions also are openly pondering spreading their support around.
