“The SEIU New Jersey State Council endorses Democratic candidates – diverse leaders – with committed records to labor and who, through their policy decisions, continue to fight for NJ workers. Our vote of confidence is for those who have stood up for workers’ right to unionize, for safe staffing ratios in hospitals and nursing homes and who stand up against large corporations’ union-busting tactics.
This election is important. Let’s re-elect on November 7 those who lifted their voices and fought for us and who believe everyone should equally prosper in this country and state,” said SEIU NJ State Council President Megan Chambers, who is alsoCo-Manager of the Laundry, Distribution, and Food Service Joint Board, Workers United SEIU.
