August 10, 2023 — Minneapolis, MN — Yesterday, Council Members Jamal Osman (DFL, W6) and Andrea Jenkins (DFL, W8), along with Aurin Chowdhury (Candidate, W12) were endorsed by the Laborer’s Union - LiUNA! of Minnesota & North Dakota.
Jamal is humbled and excited by this important labor union endorsement of his re-election campaign to represent Ward 6 on the Minneapolis City Council.
CM Osman stated:
"This labor endorsement by LIUNA is more than just a show of support - it's a pledge to stand together and fight for workers' rights, fair wages, infrastructure investments, collective bargaining, workforce development and apprenticeship initiatives, safe working conditions, and the collective unity needed to propel the City of Minneapolis forward."
As a member of the ‘Democratic-Farmer-LABOR’ party, LiUNA's endorsement resonates deeply with Jamal's commitment to championing the rights of workers and building a more progressive, prosperous, and equitable city.
It reinforces his shared vision for Minneapolis as a place where every worker's contribution counts and where the principles of fairness and representation hold immense value.
"LiUNA's endorsement is an incredible honor and a testament to our shared values. I'm excited to stand alongside these hardworking union members, advocating together for fair wages, robust worker rights, and representation," CM Osman stated.
"This endorsement isn't just about words - it's about a shared journey towards shaping a city where every workers' voice is heard and respected."
In a city that celebrates diversity and embraces its workforce, unions have always played an absolutely vital role in our history and in ensuring workers' interests are at the forefront. Unions like LiUNA tirelessly stand up for the dignity and rights of workers across the region.
CM Osman understands the critical role unions play in Minneapolis - and throughout Minnesota and North Dakota - and remains dedicated to strengthening their voice and ensuring it is heard.
"Minneapolis thrives on its people and workers, and those who contribute tirelessly to our city deserve our unwavering support. Unions like LiUNA strengthen our workforce by advocating for workers' dignity and protections across the region," CM Osman emphasized.
"Their endorsement fuels my determination to fight for a city where everyone, every worker, and their families have the opportunity to succeed, where hard work is recognized and fairly rewarded, and where collective bargaining and unity prevail."
LIUNA's endorsement further cements our mutual pursuit of a more equitable Minneapolis.
"Together, we're fighting to carve a path that amplifies the voices of every worker, celebrates diversity, and builds a stronger, fairer community," Jamal expressed.
