Working people on Saturday will officially launch organized labor’s largest electoral mobilization in North Carolina history with a 4-hour canvass in Charlotte.
This Labor Day, we are asking working families across the country to take action and commit to improving the lives of all working people by voting, for a better life. On November 8, 2016, working people will flock to the polls to support policies and candidates that are dedicated to creating fundamental, lasting change for everyone, not just the wealthy few.
How you vote is a personal decision, but your decision will affect your job and your family. Know that these are the only candidates with opposition on Election Day who sought and received the endorsement of people working in unions.
Only the national AFL-CIO can endorse a presidential candidate. Given the two presumptive major party nominees, working families are uniting behind Hillary Clinton because she is a proven leader who shares our values.
We’ve endorsed Sabra Jean Faires for NC Supreme Court and Alma Adams for the 12th Congressional District. Here’s everything else you need to know about voting in the June 7th primary.
Southern Piedmont Central Labor Council, representing thousands of union members in the greater Charlotte area, has endorsed Alma Adams in her bid to represent working people in North Carolina’s newly-redrawn 12th Congressional District. Early voting for the June 7 primary election runs from May 26 to June 4.
NC State AFL-CIO has endorsed Sabra Jean Faires for election as the next justice on the North Carolina Supreme Court. Primary voters will decide June 7 if Faires makes it onto the ballot in November. Early voting runs May 26 to June 4.
“As Democrats look for a contender for the U.S. Senate race in 2016, working families in N.C. are hoping for a candidate who will talk candidly about inequality and offer solutions like higher wages, paid sick leave, collective bargaining rights and progressive tax reform,” says state AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer MaryBe McMillan.
