NH UAW Community Action Council Endorses Dean

MANCHESTER - Dean for America announced today that the New Hampshire UAW Community Action Council, the political arm of the UAW within the state, endorsed Governor Howard Dean for President. In their announcement, the Council members cited the groundswell of support they had seen among their membership for Governor Dean's strong and clear opposition to President Bush's irresponsible economic policy.

"I am very pleased to have the support of the UAW here in New Hampshire," said Governor Dean. "The UAW's 1000 members in New Hampshire recognize that we can't have four more years of this credit-card presidency. The UAW has always fought for hard-working Americans, and with their help, we are going to restore the promise of America."

"Howard Dean is running a true grassroots campaign that has connected with us," said NH UAW CAP Council President Tedd Evans, who is also the President of UAW Local 2322, which represents over 475 public sector workers in New Hampshire. "It is clear to us that Governor Dean has a feel for what matters to workers today, and he has been willing from day one to speak out forcefully in opposition to the Bush agenda."

In welcoming Governor Dean at the site of the NH UAW CAP Council's endorsement event at a Seabrook manufacturing plant, UAW Local 1913 President Nancy Martin said, "As the President of my local union, I can tell you from the heart that workers are afraid...Howard Dean knows this. He is listening to us, and that's why we're here standing side by side with Governor Dean."

In addition, the UAW has praised Governor Dean for his active involvement as Governor of Vermont in supporting UAW organizing efforts.

The United Automotive, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America International Union (UAW) represents a diverse subsection of New Hampshire workers, from auto parts suppliers and other manufacturing workers in Seabrook and Keene to city workers in Nashua and Concord; racetrack workers; and freelance writers and graphic artists across New Hampshire
