“Citing his work as governor expanding skills training for Coloradans, Pipefitters Local 208, one of the most politically active trade unions in Colorado, endorsed Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Hickenlooper on Thursday.”
“‘We’re proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with John Hickenlooper the same way he has stood throughout his career with Pipefitters Local 208,’ said Gary Arnold, the union’s business manger, in a statement.”
“He went on to praise Hickenlooper’s work to establish a statewide apprentice system, an initiative he championed last year when he was running for president and has made a part of his Senate platform.”
“‘John has been a longtime champion for working families and has worked tirelessly to bring together the business community, labor unions, and educational institutions to create high quality apprenticeships that create pathways to good paying, stable jobs and careers. It is beyond time we have a strong advocate for unions and the middle class in the United States Senate, and there is no one better than John.'”
