Decision Recognizes Importance of Workers
International Brotherhood of Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa today lauded Kentucky Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear's executive order restoring the state Department of Labor to cabinet status and re-establishing the Governor's Employee Advisory Council. The Department of Labor was reduced to department status and the advisory council was abolished under former Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
"The workers of Kentucky deserve to have their voices heard by the leadership of their state," Hoffa said. "Governor Beshear is listening to Kentucky workers. He has taken two very important steps in ensuring that workers are front and center in his administration."
"Governor Beshear is setting a tone that will dictate the future of our great state," said Fred Zuckerman, President of Teamsters Local 89 in Louisville. "The Teamsters Union looks forward to working with him as we address the issues that are most important to workers in our state."
