Union-Busting Firm Backs Labor Darling Conor Lamb – By Chuck Ross (Washington Free Beacon) / April 8, 2022
The biggest individual donor to a PAC supporting Rep. Conor Lamb’s (D., Pa.) Senate bid is the head of a law firm accused of hostility toward labor unions, a connection that could hurt Lamb’s standing in the union-friendly state.
Stephen Cozen, the chairman of Cozen O’Connor, gave $10,000 to Penn Progress, a political action committee backing Lamb. The PAC, which counts Democratic strategist James Carville as an adviser, plans to spend millions of dollars to elect Lamb over Pennsylvania lieutenant governor John Fetterman in the Democratic primary.
Lamb has portrayed himself as the pro-labor candidate of the Democratic field, but his reliance on Cozen’s support could undermine that claim. Labor activists and liberal media outlets have in the past accused Cozen O’Connor of helping corporations kill unionization efforts. Activists have pointed to Cozen O’Connor’s website, which touts its expertise in helping companies in the face of unionization campaigns, pickets, and work stoppages. Cozen drew national attention during the 2020 presidential campaign over his support for then-candidate Joe Biden, who has also touted his pro-labor credentials.
