PAC

Every day politicians make decisions that affect our daily life.  It is our responsibility to stay informed and participate in the process to make sure our elected officials respect and represent our point of view. 

When we join together as working people we can balance the power of special interests that influence our elected officials.

From the city council that votes to give a public works project to a non-union contractor to our legislators in Washington DC who vote to uphold our right to organize, together we can make a difference.  We must stay informed, involve others, let elected officials know our position on issues, and most importantly, vote.

Check back here often.  Your PAC Committee will let you know what legislation is pending and provide information on candidates and where they stand on our issues.
