How We Make Endorsements
No workforce has more at stake in decisions made by elected officials. That’s why we support candidates who support public workers.- Union members decide who our union endorses by interviewing and evaluating candidates.
- We don’t tell members who to vote for; instead, we tell members which candidates are better on state employee issues.
- We focus on what unites us: wages, benefits, job security, working conditions, outsourcing, and collective bargaining.
Election Day is August 6 – Don’t Miss It.
