United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) General President Mark McManus issued the following statement today endorsing Sherrod Brown in his campaign for Senate:
“Sherrod Brown has never wavered in his fight for working men and women. From his time in the State House to his service in the Senate in Washington, Sherrod has always worked to give everyone a fair shot at success. We were proud to stand with Sherrod to ensure strong labor protections like Davis-Bacon prevailing wage provisions and registered apprenticeship requirements were attached to federal infrastructure spending – ensuring that the future of our nation is built by the best trained and most highly skilled craftspeople in the world: the men and women of the United Association. We are proud to stand with Sherrod in his campaign to represent the people of Ohio in Washington, where we know he will continue to give a voice to the working men and women of our great nation.”
