					<description><![CDATA[In what Barclay Harless&#8216; campaign hopes will be a game changer, the Service Employees International Union Florida Public Services Union (SEIUFPSU) announced it&#8217;s endorsing him for St. Petersburg City Council District 2. Harless, a 31-year-old banker, is facing Realtor Brandi Gabbard for the seat that encompasses northern St. Petersburg and the Gandy area. &#8220;Our organization has decided to get behind Barclay Harless in this important St. Pete election because we believe he shares a common vision for St. Petersburg and our values,&#8221; said Rick Smith,&#8230;]]></description>

It was more than unions for blue- and white-collar workers proposed for its more than 1,250 employees. Yet Kriseman still finds himself amid a wage dispute with the Florida Public Services Union.
