Carpenters Local 328 Endorses Revere City Councilor At-Large Jessica Giannino for State Representative
BOSTON – On Tuesday, Carpenters Local 328 endorsed Revere City Councilor At-Large Jessica Giannino for State Representative, 16th Suffolk District. Giannino has been a member of the Revere City Council since elected in 2012.
“We offer our support to Jessica because of her past commitment to the working men and women of the 16th Suffolk District,” said Richard Pedi, Local 328 Business Manager. “Jessica has demonstrated her concern by shaping policies that will protect all workers’ rights and we believe she will continue to have a strong voice for organized labor.”
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America began in 1881 when 36 carpenters from 11 cities formed a national union with a constitution, a structure and two thousand members. From humble beginnings arose a powerful political and economic force, setting the standards for wages, benefits, conditions and quality on every project in the United States. Carpenters Local Union 328 services Boston, Cambridge and the North/West metropolitan suburbs.
“I’m very thankful to have the endorsement from Local 328 as I campaign for State Representative,” said Giannino. “Fighting towards making our district a place to live, work and raise a family has been a top priority of mine, and I will bring these working-class values with me to Beacon Hill.”
