Union Represents Over 600,000 Americans

The Ed Chau for U.S. Congress campaign proudly announces its endorsement by the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW Region 5).

Since 1935, the United Auto Workers has used collective bargaining to invent the first employer-paid health insurance plan for industrial workers and the first cost-of-living allowances. UAW-represented workplaces include large and small corporations, government entities, and colleges, universities, hospitals and private organizations across the nation, and all around the 42nd Congressional District.

In their letter of endoresment, Jim Wells, Director and Pat Caccamo, International CAP Representative of UAW Region 5, said,"We wish you the best of luck in your campaign and we look forward to working with you in the future."

Ed Chau sought the endorsement of the UAW because, according to Chau, "the UAW has been on the correct side of every major civil rights battle. Plus, when you come to any bargaining table with the support of the UAW, your issues will be heard. That's exactly the message I'm hoping to bring to Washington, D.C.: fighting for the things you believe in backed up by political and social strength to effect positive social change."

Ed Chau is a highly qualified Democratic candidate for Congress who will fight for ethics and integrity in the U.S. Congress. For more information, please visit his web site at
