Bernie Sanders to be endorsed by electrical workers' union

-snip-
Sen. Bernie Sanders is picking up another labor endorsement, this time from a union that represents about 1,600 in New Hampshire and Maine.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1837 plans to officially endorse the Democratic presidential candidate today.

“Bernie Sanders has a 35-year record standing shoulder to shoulder with workers and supporting the labor movement,” Local 1837 President Bill Tarallo said in a statement. “He has the best labor record of any presidential candidate in more than a generation.”

The IBEW Local 1837 represents workers at electric utilities and broadcasting stations.

1. Nice. I love when unions endorse him and I loved endorsement of the Working Families Party.

I guess I love when anyone endorses him.

Like you, I love all the endorsements, but especially those that come from the solid working class segment.

Great Union.

Thanked my post-person yesterday for her union's support of Bernie. She was really happy to hear the support.

Love this. Still upset with NEA, as are a number of teachers, over their endorsement of HRC. Bernie is for labor.

6. Just wish I could stand here (virtually of course)

proudly stating that my union SEIU 1199 had endorsed Bernie instead of Hillary.

Such a foolish move on their part.

I stand with Bernie, regardless of who my union supports.

They never got my input and if they did, I would give them an earful!
