Letters: Stauber's votes tell the truth on priorities

The latest issue of The Electrical Worker, the official publication of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, is titled “The Year of the Union Worker — Extraordinary Legislative Victories to Create Union Jobs for Decades.”

Within the main article are statements including the following:

“Over the past 15 months, four of the IBEW’s highest political priorities became law, some after decades of fighting.”

“Together, they are a blueprint to rebuild the nation and the middle class.”

“Taken together, the Batch Lewis Act, The Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure and Jobs Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act will spread organized labor’s promise of workers’ protection, good wages, decent benefits, and dignified retirement.”

“These four laws, taken as a whole, reject four decades of America’s abandonment of the working family in favor of big business and the wealthy.”

Congressman Pete Stauber voted ‘no’ on all four of these bills.
