Political Action.

We lobby on behalf of our members—working men and women—across the state, and at all levels of government. Our political values are  simple: to achieve and sustain the betterment and protection of our members. We work closely with elected officials to find solutions to complex labor issues, and to ensure that those who benefit from Washington's growth include those who build it.
