Iowa Postal Workers Union Local 44 Endorses Bernie Sanders
January 18th, 2020
Excerpt:
The American Postal Workers Union Local 44 of Central Iowa has endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders for president, the campaign announced today.
Senator Bernie Sanders stands for the working class people of this country, said DMI APWU Local 44 President Mike Bates. He will fight for postal banking that would bring in revenue to the Postal Service and stop the legalized loan sharking of check into cash and payday loans that feed on the working poor.
The Local 44 members voted to stand with Sanders during their meeting this past week in Des Moines.
The union is 700 members strong and adds to the growing list of more than 130 individual union worker endorsements that Sanders Iowa team previously rolled out. Sanders campaign has courted union members heavily throughout the Iowa Caucus, positioning himself as the leader for blue-collar America.
