OSWEGO, N.Y., Jan. 25  —  Darrel Aubertine’s campaign for the 48th State Senate seat picked up major endorsements today from the United Auto Workers of American (UAW) and the Communications Workers of America (CWA) at a rally in Oswego County. 

“When Darrel talks about saving jobs, it isn’t just chatter—it is words from someone who has done it,” said Sam Williams of UAW Region 9. “The choice for us in this campaign was simple, because Darrel is the only candidate who has worked to protect the interests of working men and women. He has worked to keep companies from outsourcing our jobs and to keep good-paying jobs in our region for the long-term, and he has been successful.”

“Darrel has proven himself to be someone who stands up for working people,” said John Decillis of CWA local 1124, Watertown. “This region needs an economic renaissance, and to succeed it will take someone with the work ethic of Darrel Aubertine. Getting results and saving jobs takes hard work and perseverance, but Darrel has done it before and is clearly the best candidate to do it for the residents of Oswego, Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties.”

“I am very proud to have received the endorsements of the UAW and CWA, because the issues most important to their members are the same issues facing families across the district: jobs, healthcare, and education,” said Aubertine. “Securing jobs and bringing in new ones, helping small businesses thrive and fostering economic development, that is what builds strong communities. That is what our campaign is focusing on, and what this campaign should be all about.”

The endorsement includes members from CWA Local 1114, Local 1123, Local 1124, and Local 1128,; NABET (National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians) Local 51024; and UAW Local 465, Local 1097, Local 1826, Local 2149, and Local 2367.
