Nick Melvoin

Teamsters Local 572, whose 11,500 members work for more than 150 diverse employers in the transportation, graphic communications, grocery, retail and public sectors, has endorsed Nick Melvoin for re-election to the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education.

“Our union members know what it takes to build thriving organizations of people that make our communities better, and we know that Nick Melvoin will continue to help build a better LAUSD,” said Rick Middleton, secretary-treasurer for Teamsters Local 572. “Nick is driven by the same goals and values that drive our members: a commitment to Los Angeles’ hard-working families and a commitment to taking on challenging work and seeing it through.”

Melvoin, who last month announced his re-election campaign to continue serving LAUSD’s 4th District , said he was thrilled to receive the vote of confidence so early in the race.

“I am honored to receive an endorsement from one of our region’s most vital unions,” Melvoin said. “LAUSD schools serve the children of many of the members of Teamsters Local 572. And those members contribute in all kinds of essential ways to the operation of our school district. With their support, our campaign will continue to advocate for the needs of kids and families across the district.”
