Legislative & Political Action.

Our political and legislative affairs work is focused on advancing policies and electing leaders who support working people and strong labor standards. We engage in the legislative process and political arena to protect the rights, safety, and economic security of our members and affiliated unions. Through advocacy, education, and strategic partnerships, we work to ensure that workers have a voice in the decisions that shape Washington's economy and future.
The Council is committed to lobbying on behalf of over 80,000 union building trades members in Washington, but we can't do it alone. Support from union members and the public is critical to making sure important labor issues reach policy decision-makers at every level of government.         Join us in taking action...
