Campaign Road Trip Begins for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades with the 'It's About Jobs!' Bus Tour

Hanover, MD ---    As the country continues to face grim unemployment numbers, the upcoming November elections have taken on a new sense of urgency for those desperate to go back to work.    Candidates seeking office, and those who wish to be re-elected, are being asked to put politics aside and tell us all what they are going to do to get America working again.

On September 7, 2010, the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) is launching a coast-to-coast bus tour to connect fellow union members across the country with the candidates we believe to be our best hope to generate and bring back the jobs that far too many of us need.

The bus, wrapped in IUPAT signature black and gold colors, will make its way from Washington to Oregon, California, Nevada, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and finish its month-long journey in Delaware.

Members of the media and those who wish to rally for the cause can follow the IUPAT bus tour on www.IUPAT.org/tour where they can see a schedule of events, regular updates from the road on Twitter - @GoIUPAT - and video interviews of IUPAT members and the candidates we're supporting.    Speaking of Twitter, even the 'It's About Jobs!' bus driver is getting in on the action.    You can read his thoughts on tour events by following @JakeTheDriver .    You can also watch videos from the campaign on the IUPAT YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/goiupat or our facebook page   under GoIUPAT.

Text JOBS to 48728 for regular text updates on the 'It's About Jobs!' IUPAT bus tour via your mobile phone.

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades represents over 160,000 active and retired members in North America who work in the Finishing Trades - glazing, floor covering installation, drywall finishing, sign and convention display and commercial and industrial painting, among other crafts.  To learn more go to www.IUPAT.org .
