“The Democratic Party of Connecticut made the right choice in endorsing Dan Malloy, and 32BJ congratulates him for moving one step closer to being the next governor of our state. Dan has a long-standing commitment to raising standards for working families and creating good jobs, and our union will work tirelessly to ensure that he is elected.”
SEIU 32BJ, known for its strength in mobilizing members and voters to support endorsed candidates, is promising a voter outreach campaign, including mailings, door-to-door canvassing outreach and member mobilization in support of Malloy’s election. The union played a key role in the competitive election of Jim Hines in 2006. During the 2008 elections, 32BJ was a key part of the larger SEIU program through which staff, volunteers and members door-knocked and called more than 1 million households in support of President Obama and other progressive candidates.
With 120,000 members on the East Coast—including 4,500 in Connecticut—SEIU 32BJ is the largest property service union in the country. The union represents commercial cleaners, security officers, property service workers and food service employees throughout the state.
