PAINTERS AND ALLIED TRADES ENDORSE ESSAIBI GEORGE FOR MAYOR

Boston, MA — Today, the Painters and Allied Trades DC 35 (IUPAT DC 35) officially endorsed At-Large City Councilor Annissa Essaibi George in her candidacy for Mayor citing her ongoing commitment to their members and a more equitable workforce and economy during an event at their office in Roslindale. IUPAT DC 35 is made up of nearly 1,000 members in Boston.

“DC 35 is proud to stand with Annissa Essaibi George in this race,” said Jeff Sullivan, Business Manager of IUPAT DC 35. “Annissa has been a fierce champion for workers’ rights and an economy that prioritizes working people. Boston needs a leader that not only understands what working families are up against in this city, but is ready to take those challenges head on. It’s why Annissa needs to be the next Mayor of Boston.”

“I’m so grateful to have the support of IUPAT DC 35 in this race,” said Essaibi George. “We must make sure that our economy lifts our hard working residents up, just as they lift this entire city up. As Mayor, I’ll build a better Boston by prioritizing economic justice—and I’m so proud to have labor by my side to get it done.”

Essaibi George’s economic justice and workers’ rights policy plan includes the creation of the first-ever City of Boston Department of Economic Justice and Workers’ Rights, headed by a cabinet-level chief who will report directly to the Mayor and have a seat at the policymaking table to assess the potential impact proposed policies and initiatives may have on Boston’s working families. 

Additionally, Essaibi George has been a strong advocate for improvements to Madison Park Technical Vocational High School and vocational programs in the Boston Public Schools to provide students with career readiness after graduation.
