ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL UNION IFPTE ENDORSES HR 676

Silver Spring, Maryland. - The International Federation of Professional &
Technical Engineers (IFPTE) is the eleventh international union to endorse
HR 676, single payer health care legislation introduced by Congressman
John Conyers (D-MI).

“All Americans would win with HR 676,” said Gregory Junemann, President of
the 75,000 member union. Junemann said, “Chairman Conyers’ bill does
exactly what the members of IFPTE have asked for, namely to provide for a
complete dismantling of our broken healthcare system that has resulted in
upwards of 45 million uninsured Americans and replace it with a national
single payer system.”

An IFPTE official announced the union’s support for HR 676 at a meeting of
the AFL-CIO Healthcare Reform Committee in Washington, DC. At the IFPTE’s
55th Convention, the union had “reaffirmed its support for a universal or
single-payer health care system.”

The press release announcing the union’s endorsement is at http://www.ifpte.org.

International unions that have endorsed HR 676 are: UAW, NEA, ILWU, NALC,
IAM, Plumbers & Pipefitters (UA), Musicians (AFM), UE, CNA/NNOC & SMWIA.

    CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF TEACHERS ENDORSES HR 676

    Burbank, California—The Executive Council of the California Federation of
    Teachers (CFT) has endorsed HR 676, single payer health care legislation
    introduced by Congressman John Conyers (D-MI).

    Marty Hittelman, CFT President, said after the endorsement:

    “The CFT has long been a strong supporter of Single Payer Universal Health
    Care as the civilized foundation for providing quality affordable
    healthcare to all of the residents of the United States. We believe that
    families must be healthy so that their children are healthy and that
    healthy students make for better students. It is especially important to
    educators that the United States have the highest quality system of
    providing healthcare. One that is available to all, independent of one’s
    financial standing.”

    The California Federation of Teachers (CFT) is the California affiliate of
    the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The CFT is composed of 135
    local unions chartered by the AFT. The CFT represents over 120,000

    California, from Head Start to the University of California.

    Convention.
