Valatie, NY – Faso for Congress announced that the Transportation Communications Union/International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers has endorsed John Faso in New York’s 19th district. TCU/IAM represents 44,000 active and retired members nationwide.

“It is my pleasure to offer our endorsement to John Faso. He has been a supporter of Amtrak and Railroad Retirement, endorsed pro-worker rail safety efforts, and defended union rights. We look forward to continuing to work with him to raise wages, improve safety, and protect the retirement security for railroad workers and their families.” — Robert Scardeletti, National President, TCU

“I am happy to receive this endorsement from the Transportation Communications Union/IAM. Rail transportation is particularly important for Upstate New York as it provides an efficient mode of transportation up and down the east coast. I will continue to work with TCU/IAM members in Congress.” – Congressman John Faso

TCU/IAM represents workers employed in the railroad industry, including clerks, carmen, auto technicians, computer programmers, and more. Thirty-three railroad clerks first established the union that is now called TCU/IAM in 1899. Over the years, the union added members from other professions within the railroad industry and now sits at over 44,000 members.
