BOSTON – The North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters today endorsed Maura Healey for Governor, marking her 17th labor endorsement of the campaign. The announcement came during Healey’s visit to the Carpenters’ headquarters and apprentice center in Dorchester on Wednesday. 

The NASRCC represents more than 28,000 carpenters, pile drivers, shop and millmen, and floorcoverers working in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.

"Maura Healey understands our industry, our issues and the men and women of the Commonwealth who work with their hands,” said Joe Byrne, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the NASRCC. “She's been a champion for workers' rights and for equity and inclusion. Maura Healey is also a fighter who has not been afraid to take on powerful people to protect residents of Massachusetts. As Governor, Maura Healey will use the tools already available to protect workers and help us create a construction industry that we can be proud of: one that supports economic development and jobs for healthy, happy middle-class families."

“The Carpenters build our homes, our schools, our businesses, as well as strong career pathways and a fair economy for our families,” said Maura Healey. “I’m honored to receive their endorsement, and I look forward to continuing to partner with them to combat wage theft and worker misclassification, advocate for fair wages and enhanced workplace safety, and expand job training opportunities.”
