“On behalf of the nearly 25,000
Massachusetts members of the Laborers’ International Union of North America, I
am proud to endorse Congressman Joe Kennedy in his election efforts for U.S.
Senate,” said Joseph Bonfiglio, Business Manager of Massachusetts and Northern
New England Laborer’s District Council. “Joe received unanimous support
from our twenty affiliated local unions in Massachusetts because he works
tirelessly for the hardworking men and women of the Commonwealth. We stand
proudly with him as he continues his fight for good paying jobs, strong
healthcare and sound retirement benefits. Joe has shown up for the Laborers and
unions time and time again, so we’re showing up for him to ensure he’ll be our
next U.S. Senator.”
"Our economy has left
those that built this Commonwealth and country behind,” said Kennedy. "For
generations, unions have served our hardworking men and women, protecting them
from abuse, injustice, and exploitation. I’m proud to stand by their side and
continue that fight here in Massachusetts and in Washington.”
Within a day of announcing
his bid for Senate last month, Joe Kennedy III received the endorsements of
three other key Massachusetts labor unions: IBEW Local 103, UFCW Local 791,
Teamsters Local 25 and the Massachusetts State Council of Machinists.
Kennedy has championed
economic justice since being elected to Congress. From American manufacturing
to vocational education, fair wages, corporate accountability and collective
bargaining, he has fought tirelessly to ensure that working men and women have
a voice in Congress. Across Massachusetts he has stood in solidarity with
striking workers at National Grid and Stop & Shop, hotel staff in the
Seaport and Martha’s Vineyard bus drivers.
Over the last year his calls for a 'moral capitalism'
that puts economic power back in the hands of American workers have gained
national attention
