Two more local unions endorsed Joe Gravellese in the Democratic primary for State Representative in the 16th Suffolk District (Revere, Chelsea and Saugus) to be held on September 1.
Bricklayers & Allied Craftsmen Local 3, and Tunnel Workers Local 88, representing thousands of union laborers in Eastern Massachusetts, have thrown their support behind Gravellese’s campaign.
They join the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 4 on the list of labor groups backing Gravellese.
“I’m proud to accept the endorsement of these unions representing people who help keep our society moving,” said Gravellese. “Bricklayers, tunnel workers, and other construction workers keep the economy moving and protect public safety. They deserve representation that is ready to fight for them on Beacon Hill.”
“When I speak with labor groups around the state and talk about the agenda I will pursue at the State House, they know they are working with someone who is committed to fighting for the big, structural changes needed to give working people a seat at the table,” he continued.
“From building the pipeline to union jobs by strengthening vocational education and workforce development, to protecting the right to organize, to fighting for safe working conditions, I am ready to stand up for workers at the State House. I appreciate the vote of confidence of these unions who have endorsed me, and look forward to taking my message to every corner of this district.”
