John Kerry Gets Endorsement of the Massachusetts AFL/CIO
The Massachusetts AFL-CIO, the largest labor organization in Massachusetts which represents 400,000 working families in over 700 local unions in the public, building trades, and industrial sectors in the Commonwealth, formally endorsed Senator John Kerry for re-election at their February Executive Council Meeting held in Natick on February 7, 2008.

Throughout his career, Senator Kerry has fought to put our economy back on track and to create new family-sustaining jobs across Massachusetts and the country.  Since his election to the U.S. Senate in 1984, John Kerry has earned a 95% lifetime AFL-CIO voting record on important working family issues.  “Senator Kerry has been a powerful ally for working families across the Nation for nearly 25 years as our junior Senator,” remarked Massachusetts AFL-CIO President Robert Haynes. “We are confident that he will continue advocating and standing up for union members and their families, and all workers, once he is re-elected.”
