Massachusetts & Rhode Island Telephone Workers Unions Endorse Bernie Sanders For President
-snip-
Boston, MA—Leaders of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) System Council T-6 announced Thursday that they have voted unanimously to support the candidacy of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for President of the United States.
“Bernie Sanders is the clear choice for working people, every union should be supporting Bernie for President” said Myles Calvey, Business Manager of IBEW Local 2222 and chair of the System Council T-6, which represents seven local unions in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. “Labor unions should always be guided by a moral compass and must support only those candidates for office that share our values and champion the causes important to the working class. The majority of our members work for Verizon, who despite recording profits in excess of $1 Billion dollars per month, is actively trying to cut healthcare benefits for retirees on a fixed income. Senator Sanders is not only talking about this inequality, he has spent his life fighting to eliminate it.”
