IFPTE Attends Labor Event in Support of Endorsed Senate Candidate Graham Platner

IFPTE Secretary-Treasurer Gay Henson was joined by Legislative/Political Director Faraz Khan and Assistant to the Executive Officers Brian Kildee this week for a labor-sponsored event in support of Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner.  

Secretary-Treasurer Henson commented, saying, “this event was an opportunity to reinforce our support for Platner, who is unapologetically pro-Union, pro-collective bargaining, and pro-IFPTE.”  IFPTE was the first Union in the United States and in Maine to endorse Graham Platner, saying that he is, “not only unapologetically pro-Union, but one who will also work to overturn the Trump Administration’s Union-busting and attacks on federal workers.” 

IFPTE, along with the International Association of Machinists (IAM) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), hosted this event.
