John Hickenlooper released the following statement commemorating Labor Day and honoring Colorado’s working families:
“Today, I’m thinking about our union brothers and sisters and the working people who built the United States. This pandemic has made it more clear than ever who truly are our essential workers — and Washington has failed to treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve. Working side by side with the thousands of working families who support our campaign, we’ll work to change Washington. I’ll fight for working families in the United States Senate the same way they have fought long and hard for our rights in the workplace.”
Hickenlooper has been endorsed by a growing coalition of organized labor groups, including the American Federation of Teachers, Colorado AFL-CIO, Colorado Professional Firefighters, Denver Firefighters 858, Pipefitters Local 208, Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, Colorado Education Association, LIUNA 720, United Auto Workers, Teamsters Local 455, American Federation of Government Employees, Communication Workers of America, American Federation of State, and County and Municipal Employees.
