USW Endorses Hillary Clinton

CONTACT: Tim Waters, (412) 999-3587, twaters@usw.org

(PITTSBURGH) – The United Steelworkers (USW), in conjunction with the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) and the Glass Molders, Pottery, Plastics & Allied Workers International Union (GMP), issued the following statement today endorsing Hillary Clinton for President of the United States:

“Given her vast experience both with foreign and domestic policy, Hillary Clinton is a supremely qualified candidate, one of the most qualified candidates ever to seek the presidency,” said USW International President Leo W. Gerard. “These unique qualifications give her the vision and commitment necessary to continue to lead this country forward.

“The USW has watched intently as both parties have conducted their primaries. We’ve known for some time that either of the Democratic candidates would be far superior to any Republican on the vast majority of issues important to workers and their families.

“Now that it has become clear who the two major nominees will be in November, we are excited to put our full support behind electing Secretary Clinton the next president of the United States.”
