LIUNA Great Lakes Region Endorses Susana Mendoza for Mayor
CHICAGO, IL – Today, LIUNA Great Lakes Region endorsed Susana Mendoza for Chicago mayor. The LIUNA Great Lakes Region Organizing Committee represents laborers throughout the Midwest in the construction, municipal, and industrial sectors. The announcement comes as Susana Mendoza has continued to build strong support with organized labor groups, having just earned endorsements from UFCW Local 1546 and the Chicago Federation of Musicians.
“I am so excited to have the endorsement of LIUNA Great Lakes Region and the working men and women it represents,” Susana Mendoza said. “I’ve always been a staunch advocate of workers’ rights, and that will continue as mayor. With the support of working families from across our city, I know we can make Chicago a leader in lifting up the voices of working people for cities throughout the world to emulate.”
“In the current landscape of national and international affairs, it’s more important than ever that a global city like Chicago has a mayor committed to protecting the rights of working people,” said Terry Healy, Vice President Regional Manager LIUNA. “There is no question that Susana will bring her history as a fierce advocate for labor with her to the mayor’s office and continue to be a champion for our members and all of Chicago’s working families.”
