Building Our Union Through PACOver the past few years the Rochester Regional Joint Board of Workers United has been building its political program at the local, state and national levels of government. The activities our members have participated in, such as political rallies, literature drops, phone banks, campaigns to organize new members, and fundraising, have all contributed to strengthening our union and gaining political power. In today’s political climate there are enormous barriers in the way of the working class. To overcome these barriers we need to support elected officials, whether they are Democrats, Republicans or Independents, that stand with us and will fight for the issues that are important to us as union members. We need elected officials who will support issues such as a fair and free process to join a union, better health care, the ability to earn a living wage, and stopping FREE trade and encouraging FAIR trade so that our jobs stay in this country. We are asking you, brothers and sisters, to become active in our Political Action Committee and to voluntarily contribute through our PAC check-off process. Money is what politicians listen to, and by contributing to PAC and becoming active in our committee, our voice will be heard and will pave the way towards positive change. Talk to your shop rep or a PAC member to see how you can get involved! Contributing to PAC is as simple as signing a check-off card. Give what you can afford because altogether it adds up to power.
