Daily News | Philadelphia teachers’ union endorses Helen Gym for mayor
And while the group can only contribute $25,200 to Gym per year under the city’s campaign-finance laws, individual members can contribute to the campaign, and the American Federation of Teachers could spend in the Philadelphia race.
The only other major union to have made an endorsement in the mayor’s race so far is District Council 33 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents 9,500 blue-collar municipal employees. Earlier this month, the union — Philadelphia’s largest representing municipal workers — endorsed grocer Jeff Brown, a first-time candidate,Other labor unions that typically get involved in municipal races are gearing up to make their picks.
The city’s coalition of building trades unions also has yet to make an endorsement, and it remains to be seen whether the more than 50 locals that make up the council will coalesce around one candidate. And the unions that represent police and firefighters have not made public their timeline for when — or if — they’ll pick a candidate to back.
