Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Resoundingly Reaffirms Endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President and Announces Endorsements for Statewide Row Offices, U.S. Congress and State Legislature
HARRISBURG, Pa., July 24 /EMWNews/ -- Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President William George today announced the reaffirmation of the AFL-CIO's endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President which was made by the AFL-CIO's General Board on June 26, 2008 and endorsements made today by the PA AFL-CIO Executive Council for Attorney General, Auditor General, State Treasurer, for U.S. House of Representatives, and for the State Legislature. "Barack Obama comes from a working class family, with working class values. He fought for equal pay, minimum wage, prevailing wage improvements, card check, responsible bidder and unemployment for locked-out workers. He stands up for working people and he will turn our economy around so that all Americans will benefit from fair trade, affordable health care, pension protections and the right to form a union," Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President William George said. In announcing the other endorsements for statewide seats, U.S. Congress and State Legislature, George said, "These candidates have proven themselves to be the friends and supporters of working families. They understand that workers are struggling in this economy with stagnant wages, soaring prices for health care, gas and food. They advocate and support an agenda that mirrors the priorities of the labor movement. We are confident that they will put this country back on track toward prosperity and opportunity for all not the few," George declared. "These endorsements are not only a stamp of approval, it marks the continuation of building the biggest political mobilization of union households in the history of Pennsylvania. On election day, union members and their families will play a major role in deciding the direction of the nation," Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Bloomingdale said. The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO is the largest labor organization in the State, representing 1.2 million union workers and their families. Endorsements are made by a 2/3rds vote of the members of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO's Executive Council representing unions affiliated with the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO.
