As union workers this coming election, there are a wide range of issues most workers agree upon nationwide, that protect our families and our civil rights. These values are centered around labor: they are not partisan.

Our elected officials have a direct impact on unions; our fight is to promote Unionism and good job protections for our families. We need policies that advance, not threaten, our union rights.

The AFL-CIO wide topics of agreement among Union workers are:

  • Retirement Security 
  • 97% want to lower health care costs 
  • 95% want Workplace Safety
  • 72% agree to access to reproductive healthcare

Our shared values:

  • Health 
  • Fairness
  • Safety

When we vote, we are voting for representatives and policies that influence so much; our families, our healthcare, and our rights as workers are all on the ballot. Please register to vote, and please, vote labor.
