Electricians give Ford PCs full endorsement for re-election

Toronto Sun: 'The IBEW Construction Council of Ontario, representing electricians across the province, has issued a statement saying Doug Ford and his team deserve to be re-elected.

'It’s the third major construction union to endorse the PCs since the election began.

'“Premier Ford has proven over the last four years that he not only supports and understands the needs of the electrical trades but has backed it up with positive and meaningful action that is unprecedented in our union’s history,” union executive James Barry said.

'The union represents approximately 18,000 members in various locals across Ontario.

'Barry cited the hard work of Labour Minister Monte McNaughton in the decision to endorse the PC Party. He said the government has put a tremendous emphasis on safety and training including for apprentices.'
