Union endorses WWP election campaign

Monica Moorehead & USW 8751 president, Andre François, March 24.

At the March 24 monthly membership meeting of the Boston School Bus Drivers, Steelworkers Local 8751, AFL-CIO, CLC [Canadian Labour Congress], the members voted unanimously to officially endorse Workers World Party candidate Monica Moorehead for president and Lamont Lilly for vice president in 2016.

Local 8751 becomes the first AFL-CIO union to formally endorse the WWP 2016 Moorehead/Lilly campaign! Living the legacy of African-American communist leader W.E.B. DuBois and socialist labor leader Eugene Debs by saying NO to the lesser evil scam!
