The Beaver-Lawrence Central Labor Council (BLCLC) has announced its recommendation for consideration of endorsement of Auditor General Jack Wagner by the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO in the May 2010 primary election.

BLCLC chose to back Jack because after our candidate interviews, we felt he was the best candidate to represent working families, said Dennis Bloom, President of the Council. He also has a plan to advance Pennsylvania into the future with a focus on improvements to our infrastructure. He has always had a good working relationship with organized labor, himself being a card-carrying member of the IBEW.

I am grateful to have the Beaver-Lawrence Central Labor Council’s support. As Auditor General, I have fought to protect the rights of the men and women of organized labor, uncovering violations of the prevailing wage, unemployment, and workers’ compensation laws, as well as violations of the fundamental right to form and join a union, Wagner said. I will continue to do so as Governor.
