Bob Casey speaks to union workers and other attendees at a rally in support of Kamala Harris at the Sprinkler Fitters Local 692 Union Hall in Northeast Philadelphia on Saturday.addressed hundreds of union workers across Philadelphia as they held get-out-the-vote events and knocked on doors 10 days before Election Day.
Casey started the day at a rally in Spring Garden hosted by the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters. He launched a Day of Action for the organization alongside Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, attorney general candidate Eugene DePasquale, Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna McClinton, and others. He visited the CWA canvass launch in Northeast Philly and was scheduled to visit with the American Federation of Teachers in Delaware County in the afternoon.
Bill Sproule, executive secretary of the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, noted the power union members have to drive the vote among their own membership and the community at large. Though union members have been behind some of Trump’s support since 2016, Sproule said he felt some of those members were “coming to their senses.”
