Candidates.

At the heart of all union work is the ability to organize, bargain, and act collectively to improve the lives of workers and their families. Nothing is more essential to making this work possible than a political climate that is in solidarity with unions and workers. It is important to seek out and support a range of elected officials and candidates for office who are sympathetic to, and stand in solidarity with, organized labor. ​
