UFCW Local 360 Proudly Endorses Steve Sweeney!

Steve Sweeney has consistently stood up for working families and delivered real results.

“He stood up to Carl Icahn after the billionaire threatened to take away our pension and healthcare funding.” – Donna DeCaprio, UNITE HERE Local 54 President

Steve Sweeney’s Record of Accomplishments:

• Allowed workers to collect unemployment while on strike

• Instituted card check, making it easier to organize a workplace

• Implemented prevailing wages on public projects across New Jersey

• Raised the minimum wage and indexed it to inflation

• Sponsored the Workplace Democracy Enhancement Act, protecting collective bargaining rights for public employees

• Secured $1 billion for higher education construction through the Building Our Future Bond Act

• Protected hotel workers’ jobs when ownership changed

• Passed the Securing Our Children's Future Bond Act, allocating $500 million for vocational schools

Steve Sweeney never went to college. Instead, he built a career as a union ironworker, working with his hands to support his family. When his daughter Lauren was born with Down syndrome, he ran for office to fight for those without a voice. As Senate President, he spent years advocating for New Jersey’s working families and organized labor.

“Steve Sweeney is a passionate advocate for the working class. He listens to the concerns of hardworking New Jerseyans and works tirelessly to create policies that reduce financial burdens and provide better job opportunities.” – Sam Ferraino Jr, UFCW Local 360 President and Southern NJ Central Labor Council President

UFCW Local 360 stands with Steve Sweeney because he stands with us.
