UFCW local endorses McGreevey for Jersey City mayor
A food and commercial workers union endorsed Jim McGreevey for Jersey City mayor.
The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 360 endorsed McGreevey on Wednesday afternoon, arguing he is the candidate who will best support unions and workers in the city.
“As you know, the vast majority of UFCW Local 360 members work in essential industries,” said union President Sam Ferraino Jr. “These everyday heroes continued to show up and work, at real risk to themselves and their loved ones, throughout the pandemic so that their communities did not go without. They stood up and met the challenge, and they deserve someone who recognizes that all workers have the right to a safe and healthy work environment, and all employers have the duty to provide a safe workplace.”
McGreevey is one of several Democrats seeking to succeed Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, who is running for governor. McGreevey served as governor from 2002 until his resignation in 2004 amid a sex scandal.
