UFCW Michigan Endorses Candidates
Michigan Primary is August 3, 2010 |
Pro-worker candidates need
your help in getting elected this year. Their first step is
winning their primary election on August 3, 2010. Local 876
members can help insure candidates who have the best
interests of workers and their families are elected by
encouraging their co-workers, friends, and family to go to
the polls on Tuesday, August 3. Below is a complete list of
endorsed candidates. Note: No endorsements were made
in some districts.
UFCW Local 876 Endorses
Virg Benero for Governor
After an extensive interview and selection process, which
involved several UFCW members, UFCW Michigan has identified
and endorsed the most pro-worker candidates in the 2010
election.
“When we look at candidates, the union determines which
candidates will fight for workers and their families,”
Robinson said. “This is going to be an extremely important
election for Michigan workers, whose very existence depends
on political leaders who can help bring the state out of its
economic slump, bring good jobs to the state and ensure that
the good union jobs continue to be protected.”
The governor’s race will be particularly tough, as
republicans are blaming the state’s problems on democrats.
“We need a strong candidate for governor, not only one who
will fight for workers, but who will be able to fight and
win against the republican candidate,” Robinson said. “Virg
Benero is that candidate. He has a plan to put Michigan back
to work, is passionate and dedicated to Michigan’s workers
and can stand up against any candidate the republicans
nominate.”
For more information, or to volunteer for a candidate, call
the Local 876 Political and Legislative Director, Chris
Michalakis at 1-800-321-6406.
