Great letter in todays Bangor Daily from Jay Wadleigh! Vote for Collins I am president of the largest union at Bath Iron Works. Local S6 of the IAM represents nearly 3,000 men and women who work hard each day at the yard building destroyers that keep our country safe and allow America’s Navy to be a global force for good. BIW’s workforce is also a powerful component of Maine’s economy; payroll at BIW is more than $300 million annually and the yard keeps hundreds — if not thousand — of small subcontractors working all across our state. Our greatest ally in Washington is Sen. Susan Collins. Her work on behalf of the members of our local has been impressive. Quite simply put, without her advocacy, fewer shipbuilders would be working at BIW, Maine’s economy would be weakened, and our Navy would not have the fleet it currently has. Local S6, along with the three other unions at BIW, has endorsed Collins. She has earned our respect and support. I’m voting for her and encourage all of my fellow Mainers to do the same.
