IRON WORKERS GENERAL PRESIDENT WALTER WISE RELEASES SPECIAL POST-ELECTION STATEMENT TO MEMBERS


Dear Brothers and Sisters:


Once again, our faith in democracy and the American people has stood up to the unlimited dollars and fraudulent campaign of the radical right and re-elected President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to a second term. Carrying the battle as the only organization truly representing the middle class was the AFL-CIO, and leading the way was the Iron Workers through your hard work and efforts.


I wish to thank every member, their family and friends who voted, your Local Union leadership and volunteers across this nation who made sure that the truth was in the hands and minds of our members. The cause was just, the battle fierce and your commitment carried the day for Ironworkers throughout North America. Your voice at the ballot box has given us the tools, and we will use them to expand work opportunities, grow our Union and create a better standard of living for you and your family.


Your support of our Union and the Ironworkers Political Action League proved invaluable during this election. That intensity, activism and support must continue now through the halls of Congress. After surviving the obstructionist politics of our enemies during the last four years, we must continue to carry the battle to every Congressman on every piece of legislation to make sure our voice is not stifled.

Ironworkers sticking together gave us this great victory, and Ironworkers sticking together will give us a better future.


Thank you for helping to build our great Union.



Walter W. Wise
