“Building a strong infrastructure and reaching out to all communities is what the Ironworkers do,” said Local 433 President Robbie Hunter. “We feel we have a strong partner and leader in these endeavors with Mayor Hahn. We particularly appreciate his work with us to help give apprenticeship and job opportunities to young people from working class families.”
“I’m proud to have the endorsement of the Ironworkers,” said Mayor Hahn. “Together, we’re working to provide job training so that Los Angeles residents have the skills they need to succeed in the workplace, and together we’ll work to win this election.”
