PA Association of Letter Carriers, President Paul Rozzi
“Congressman Fitzpatrick is a proven champion for letter carriers and a fierce advocate for a strong and vibrant United States Postal Service (USPS). In 2022, Congressman Fitzpatrick helped the USPS return to a firm financial footing by supporting the Postal Service Reform Act and encouraging his colleagues to do the same. In the 118th Congress, he continued advocating for letter carriers by standing up for our safety and introducing the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act (H.R. 7629). Congressman Fitzpatrick fought for our retirement security and benefits by cosponsoring the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82) and the Federal Retirement Fairness Act (H.R. 5995). He also ensured that when letter carriers and other federal employees are injured on the job, they can receive the medical care they need by supporting the Improving Access to Workers’ Compensation for Injured Federal Workers Act (H.R. 618). Congressman Fitzpatrick’s unwavering support of our priorities demonstrates that he is a true friend to not only the 15,400+ letter carriers across Pennsylvania but also the 290,000 active and retired letter carriers across the country. We appreciate that Congressman Fitzpatrick stands with us on our issues, and we are proud to stand with him!”

When the PES Oil Refinery was rocked by a fire, then closure, in the summer of 2019, he didn’t wait for the people affected to reach out. Congressman Fitzpatrick and his staff got to work. On legislation, his votes have continued to show that when the labor movement needs an ally, he doesn’t just say that he stands with labor, he leads for labor.”
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 269, Business Manager Stephen Aldrich

It is so important to have a voice in Congress who is willing to listen to the needs and concerns of the membership and make changes when necessary. Congressman Fitzpatrick has continually proven to be a friend of the labor movement and working families in his district. IBEW Local 269 is proud to support his efforts.”
