Mike McGinn was endorsed today by UNITE-HERE Local 8, Washington State’s hospitality workers’ union.

“Mike understands how important it is for the mayor’s office to play a positive role in creating and protecting quality jobs for hotel workers in Seattle,” said Rick Sawyer, the union’s Secretary Treasurer and Principal Officer.

UNITE-HERE endorsed McGinn based on his understanding of the issues important to workers in the hospitality industry. Seattle’s tourist economy provides a significant source of jobs for working families in the region.
