Local 54 PAC makes
November election endorsements

Atlantic City . . . At its most recent meeting, the Political Action Committee of Atlantic City’s   UNITE HERE Local 54, endorsed James (Jim) Schroeder for the office of Atlanti County Freeholder-at-Large and Frank LoBiondo for re-election to the United States Congress. UNITE HERE Local 54 is the hotel and restaurant employees union representing more than 15,000 workers in the resort’s casino hotel industry.
     Schroeder, a Democrat, is a former teacher and later, a lobbyist for the New Jersey Education Association. LoBiondo, a Republican will be running for his eighth term in Congress.
     “We feel that Jim Schroeder, as both a member and official of the NJEA, will have the welfare and protection of the working person in mind when dealing with issues that come before the Freeholder Board. Frank LoBiondo’s record, in serving the constituents from his district, certainly speaks for itself. He has always been available to discus and review issues that are important to our members and members of the general public. His honesty and his willingnes to hear all opinions presents a compelling reason for our union to offer its endorsement for his re-election,” says Bob McDevitt, President of UNITE HERE Local 54.
