Kickoff of Labor’s Final Push to Re-elect Governor Jon Corzine
ATLANTIC CITY – “We are delighted and honored to be joined by the Vice President of the United States at this critical time in our state’s history,” announced New Jersey State AFL-CIO President, Charles Wowkanech. “Just as our nation proved in 2008: ‘Yes We Can’, New Jersey’s working families will show that ‘Yes We Can – Again! On November 3, 2009.’”
Today at the New Jersey State AFL-CIO Legislative/COPE conference, Vice President Biden spoke to an audience of over 600 labor delegates and labor leaders representing 1,000 local unions and one million union members in New Jersey. The Vice President declared “Governor Jon Corzine realizes what it will take to get New Jersey back on track after the pressure of the national economic recession. He is working every day to ensure that middle class families come first and that New Jersey remains a model for progress in the 21st century.”
Governor Corzine addressed the conference, laying out his vision of reform for New Jersey. President Wowkanech said, “Union members will decide this election. Working families realize what is at stake, and we are not willing to throw away 10 years worth of our collective achievements because we are frustrated over how tough times are. Governor Corzine stands with working families and will be the one to lead New Jersey back to prosperity.”
The newly elected AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler was honored at an evening reception, and she spoke about the plan to reinvigorate the national labor movement. President Wowkanech stated “As we build our national labor movement for the next generation, New Jersey’s public policies will continue to set the standard for the goals and ambitions of our nation’s working families.”
“As the state’s largest labor organization, the New Jersey State AFL-CIO is proud to exercise its fullest support on behalf of Governor Jon Corzine as well as a record number of 70 labor candidates, eight of whom are running for the State Assembly,” said President Wowkanech.
A complete updated list of this year’s endorsements is as follows.
