Why does the Union always support Democrats?
We support candidates with a record of supporting our issues whether Democrat or Republican. Labor’s selection process includes candidate interviews, evaluation of voting records, and a candidate’s commitment to support a working family’s agenda. Candidates are evaluated based on their support for labor’s agenda, not their political party. In recent years, Democrats have been more likely than Republicans to support a working families’ agenda. You are spending my dues money on politicians who seek to restrict the constitutional right to own a gun. That’s not right! We do not spend your dues money on politicians. We use voluntary contributions from our political action fund, COPE, to support candidates, who support the working family’s agenda. We have no position on gun control or abortion. We decide to support candidates based solely on their support of the working families’ agenda. You can contribute to COPE through a payroll deduction on a voluntary basis.
