Statement by United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the
Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry (UA) Assistant General President
Steve Kelly
on McCain’s “Joe the Plumber”
October 16, 2008

Last night John McCain made Joe the Plumber a household name. His
manufactured outrage on behalf of Joe would be a lot more believable if
his economic plan had anything to do with helping working people deal
with the economic crisis. Instead, it washes the middle class down the
drain. McCain’s plan gives massive tax giveaways to CEOs and
mega-corporations while leaving working families out in the cold. At a
time when our economy is bleeding jobs, McCain also opposes investment
in infrastructure spending, which would create good jobs and help put
our economy back on solid footing.

As the first union to endorse Barack Obama for the presidency, the UA
looked long and hard at which candidates would put the needs of all the
Joes in America first. Barack Obama has a plan to cut taxes for working
people while investing in good jobs and lifting wages. Unlike
McCain’s, Obama’s outrage for the middle class is real. He will
turn us in a new direction, not keep us on the same, tired old path of
the Bush years.
