PENNSYLVANIA – Senator Bob Casey received the endorsement of multiple labor unions over the last week, including the United Auto Workers, the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, and the Communication Workers of America.

“Senator Casey is a long-time champion for workers and organized labor. His record of protecting the right to organize, supporting workers’ and retirees’ pensions, and creating good-paying union jobs across Pennsylvania speaks for itself. He has stood in solidarity with us, supported our unionization efforts, advocated for us on the federal level, and even joined us on the picket line. He is the labor ally that we need in Washington.”

“Union Carpenters and their families have always been able to count on Senator Casey to have their backs. Senator Casey secured historic investments to rebuild Pennsylvania’s infrastructure while creating thousands of good-paying, Pennsylvania jobs, a win-win for working families across the Commonwealth. As he has done his entire life, Bob Casey is fighting to protect our right to organize, secure fair wages and benefits, and ensure safer working environments. We are proud to stand with him to win these critical fights.”
