Labor
Council Forum: updated 2.26.08
Interviews
to Consider Endorsement of candidates for the June
2008 Election
Brothers and Sisters,
Political
action
and endorsement of candidates are a natural part of union activity. As
union members
we live in the neighborhoods, worry about the community and understand
how
teamwork makes life better for us and others. There is terrific power
in
pulling our diverse backgrounds and viewpoints together to endorse
candidates
that, if elected, will carry our priorities forward. The June 2008
election
brings to us great responsibility in choosing whom to endorse for
County
Supervisors and a new Assembly Member that will replace our beloved
John
Laird. We invite all union members to
come
hear first hand from candidates asking for labor’s
endorsement.
