Louisville, KY – Today, the Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association Local Union 110 proudly endorsed Jim King for Mayor of Louisville. This comes as the third endorsement in less than two weeks for King for Mayor. The Sheet Metal Workers’ Union represents over 450 members locally.

The Sheet Metal Workers of Louisville believe Jim King is the right person to lead Louisville toward a better tomorrow."
Councilman King has had a 100% pro-labor record as Metro Councilman, standing with working families on issues like a living wage, fair labor standards and supporting apprenticeship programs. Additionally, he recently released “Ten Commitments to Louisville’s Working Families” that provides workers with a written commitment that ensures their voice will be heard in city government.
