Saying that Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton “has never wavered in his support for our members,” the Massachusetts Teamsters union announced it endorses his bid for U.S. Senate.
“When our members at Republic Services were on strike fighting for their jobs and the future of their families, Seth Moulton was right there with them every step of the way,” said Teamsters Local 25 President Thomas G. Mari, who also leads Teamsters Joint Council 10 that represents the local unions in New England. “Seth understands that good jobs, fair pay, and respect for working people are the foundation of a strong economy. Our members know that Seth Moulton will bring those values with him to the U.S. Senate.”
Moulton, 46, the Iraq War veteran who represents the Salem area in the U.S. Congress, announced in October that he was challenging 79-year-old fellow Democrat and incumbent Sen. Ed Markey for the seat.
In their endorsement statement, the state Teamsters say their 20,000 union members and families “praised Moulton for walking picket lines and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with members during last year’s prolonged strike against Republic services.”Shortsleeve picks up new endorsements
