LV Bldg Trades Endorse Morganelli in AG Race

The Lehigh Valley Building Trades today formally endorsed Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli for Attorney General yesterday, following a meeting in Allentown.

Morganelli has a long history of labor support. His father was a lifetime union blue collar worker who worked as an oiler with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local #542 for 30 years. He was also a Teamsters for 10 years. As a steelworker, he was a member of AFL/CIO. John's mother was a union garment worker and member of ILGWU. Morganelli represented a union before he was DA and has been attentive to union issues including enforcement of the Construction Misclassification Act.

"I am proud to have the support of the LV Building Trades," beamed Morganelli. "They know me the best and my commitment to enforcing laws that protect the hard working men and women in the labor force."

The Lehigh Valley Building Trades is an organization composed of local construction unions. The members are local residents who are plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, bricklayers and members of various other construction related professions. The following are the constituent unions: Boilermakers Local 13; Bricklayers, Tilesetters and Cement Masons Local 5; Carpenters Local 600; Cement Masons and Plasterers Local 592; IBEW Local 102; IBEW Local 375; Elevator Constructors Local 84; Glaziers Local 252 DC 21; Heat and Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers Local 23; Heavy Highway Construction Workers Local 158; Ironworkers Local 36; Laborers Local 1174; Millwright and Machinery Erectors Local 1906; Operating Engineers Local 542; Painters and Allied Trades Local 1269 DC 21; Plumbers Local 690; Road Sprinkler Fitters Local 669; Roofers and Waterproofers Local 30; Sheet Metal Workers Local 19; Steamfitters Local 420 and Teamsters Local 773.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
