Political Action Report - Keeping our union members informed

On a state level, a letter has been sent to all New Jersey members of the state legislature reminding them of the number one issue effecting your ability to go to work - undocumented workers and the contractors who hire them. We have advised the Senators and Assembly members that until they commit to us a solution to this problem, labor walks, phone banks, and financial support will be on hold. Without man hours the PAC Fund money will not be there. Your leadership recognizes this money is generated by your hard work and we will hold all elected officials accountable to that fact.

On a national level, the Democratic primary is settled. It appears Senator Obama will face Republican John McCain for the next President of the United States. We will be forwarding information on both candidates. Please become informed, make sure you are registered and then, come November, get out and vote! "The pen is mightier then the sword"!
