COLUMBIA, Md., July 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Union of
Elevator Constructors General President Frank J. Christensen today issued the following
statement:
"The International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC),
representing the highly skilled men and women of the number one
blue-collar trade in the nation, endorses Vice President
Kamala Harris for president in the
2024 election. On behalf of our union's more than 31,000 members,
endorsing Harris, who has been a key figure in the most pro-union,
pro-worker administration of our lifetime, is the right choice.
"With Harris in the White House, we can continue making progress
in building an economy that works for working people. Just like
President Joe Biden, Harris knows
that America was built by the middle class – and that unions built
the middle class. This is why the Biden-Harris administration has
prioritized the creation of good-paying, union jobs as part of each
of its legislative wins. From the Inflation Reduction Act to the
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Biden-Harris administration has
kept workers and working families – their wages, their healthcare,
and their safety – top of mind.
"This November, we must vote Harris in the White House to keep
the momentum going – we've come too far to back down now. A Harris
White House would protect and expand federal infrastructure
investments, support workers' rights to form or join a union, and
fight against low-road contractors. Simply put, a vote for Harris
is a vote for good union jobs."
