WASHINGTON, July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Association of
Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers
proudly announces its endorsement of Kamala
Harris for President of the United
States. As Vice President, Harris has demonstrated an
unwavering commitment to the values and needs of working people,
earning our enthusiastic support for her candidacy.
As Vice President, Harris voted with us to restore and protect
the pensions of millions of workers, including Ironworkers across
the nation. She stood with us to support investments in
infrastructure, energy, and advanced manufacturing. And she fought
by our side to keep workers safe. Thousands of Ironworkers are on
the job today thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and other
investments that Vice President Harris was instrumental in
securing.
"We are proud to endorse Kamala
Harris because she has been a steadfast advocate for working
Americans," said Eric Dean,
President of the Iron Workers Union. "Her leadership alongside
President Biden has made their administration the most pro-worker
in generations. Vice President Harris has fought alongside us to
protect pensions, enhance workplace safety, and invest in the
infrastructure that our communities depend on."
The Iron Workers Union recognizes Kamala
Harris' impressive resume and strong qualifications to serve
as President of the United States.
Her dedication to expanding opportunities for working families and
ensuring a brighter future for all Americans leaves us with no
doubt that Kamala Harris is the
right candidate for the job. We look forward to working with the
Harris administration for years to come.
The Iron Workers Union (IW) represents 135,000 ironworkers in
North America who work in
construction on bridges; structural steel; ornamental,
architectural, clean energy, and miscellaneous metals; rebar; and
in fabrication shops.
