Hillary will get the job done

Local 3 endorses Hillary Clinton for President of the United States because she will support the creation of good jobs for our members, invest in infrastructure and keep the economy moving forward. She knows the American Labor movement contributes greatly to our country and gave rise to the strongest middle-class in the history of the world.

At a time when powerful corporate interests are moving aggressively to gut our pensions, eliminate collective bargaining rights and tilt the playing field in their favor at the expense of the middle-class, Hillary Clinton is the experienced candidate who will stand for the needs of working people.
