ICYMI: International Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers Endorses Joe Biden for President

Today, in a letter, the International Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers endorsed Joe Biden for President of the United States. In their endorsement, they cited Vice President Biden’s strong support for fundamental labor standards, his leadership and his vision for an American economy that recognizes the contributions of union labor. The International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers work to defend the rights of working men and women, and provide the resources for economic development and mobility.
 
The International Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers released the following letter:
 
Dear Vice President Biden:
 
On behalf of the Executive Board of the International Heat and Frost Insulators and Allied Workers, I am very pleased to share with you that our Executive Board has unanimously voted to endorse your candidacy for President of the United States.
 
In addition to your strong support for fundamental labor standards, and your leadership and vision for an American economy that recognizes the contributions of union construction labor, the Insulators are especially pleased with your support for mechanical insulation tax incentives, building code reforms and energy efficiency investments that will promote our work.
 
Our members also appreciate your commitment to worker safety and public health with your support for a legitimate EPA asbestos review process. It is disappointing, but not surprising, that the Trump Administration failed to include asbestos legacy exposure as part of the initial asbestos review process.
 
Thank you, Vice President Biden, for your dedicated public service to our nation. As Vice President, you worked to clean up the mess in 2009 from the George W. Bush Administration, and the Obama economic recovery was the longest in U.S. history. Today, America needs you to clean up the mess of the current Administration, and we are looking forward to working with you to help our nation build back better.
 
Sincerely,
James P. McCourt
General President
