06/24/2004 Entry: "APWU Board Endorses Kerry"

The APWU National Executive Board voted unanimously at its May meeting to endorse Sen. John F. Kerry in the November presidential election.

“Of course, APWU members are free to follow their conscience on this matter,” said union President William Burrus. “But I believe this election will be a referendum on the Bush Administration, which has been a disaster for the middle class and for working people.”

Delegates to the APWU National Convention will have an opportunity to vote on the endorsement at the union’s biennial meeting in August.

Presidential Candidate John F. Kerry talks to Veterans at a Town Hall Meeting at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, WI. recently. Kerry, a Veteran himself, listened to the concerns of our area "Vets". (Note NEWAL APWU member Tom Sharp in bottom front row in brown suit.)
