The TWU believes that candidates for political office should work closely with the labor movement to decrease income inequality, strengthen collective bargaining rights, and build a twenty-first century infrastructure for our country. Robert’s years of service to the people of New Jersey makes it clear that he will champion working people and that he is the best candidate for New Jersey’s eighth congressional district.

I am grateful for TWU’s endorsement of our campaign.” said Rob Menendez. “The 8th District is highly dependent on mass transit, and members of TWU work tirelessly to ensure that our residents are able to get to work safely and on time. They are critical to our region’s transportation infrastructure and I will always support them and their right to organize, bargain collectively, and in improving workplace conditions.

The TWU looks forward to working with Robert Menendez during the election cycle and throughout his years as a member of Congress.
