Martha Coakley Receives Unanimous Endorsement of Massachusetts AFL-CIO
Martha Coakley Receives Unanimous Endorsement of Massachusetts AFL-CIO Key labor federation calls Coakley a champion for the working men and women of the Commonwealth
MALDEN, MA, ISSUED DECEMBER 18, 2009…The Massachusetts AFL-CIO today unanimously endorsed Martha Coakley for United States Senate in the upcoming January 19 election.
“This election has been all about working families,” said Robert Haynes, President of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. “That’s who the late Senator Kennedy spent his life fighting for. The Massachusetts AFL-CIO is proud to stand with Martha Coakley because of her proven record of fighting for working families and because of her career of public service. Our Attorney General has always stood for fairness, justice, and opportunity for working families. The Massachusetts AFL-CIO will work hard during this short campaign to add Martha’s voice, values, and talents to the U.S. Senate.”
Coakley has a strong record in support of Massachusetts’ workforce. As Attorney General, Coakley vigilantly enforced prevailing wage, overtime, employee misclassification, and independent contractor enforcement laws in order to ensure that an honest day’s work would result in a fair paycheck with real benefits. Coakley has also been a leader in the fight against workplace discrimination, most recently supporting the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2009. President Haynes has called Coakley “the best candidate to represent working families in the United States Senate.” For more information please visit marthacoakley.com.
