BAC Endorses John Kerry for President

The Executive Council of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) voted unanimously to endorse Senator John Kerry for President in 2004. In bringing the question of a Kerry endorsement before the Council, BAC President John J. Flynn contrasted Kerry’s strong labor record in the Senate to the “assault on unions and union members” that has occurred under the Bush Administration. Flynn also mentioned Kerry’s endorsement from his former running mate and longtime BAC ally, Congressman Dick Gephardt, as well as more recent endorsements from the Alliance for Economic Justice, an advocacy organization comprised of 19 unions including BAC, and the AFL-CIO’s endorsement of the Senator.

In making the motion to endorse, BAC Local 3 Massachusetts President Chuck Raso cited Kerry’s consistent and unwavering voting record and support for working families and the building trades. The motion was carried unanimously.
