2018 Election Guide (Mid-Terms)

The importance of Political Activity to our Brothers and Sisters in Public Safety cannot be overstated. Every contract, consolidation, shared services agreement, policy, procedure, worker protections, and discipline matter comes down to political action. The future of California and the Labor Movement hang in the balance.

Please ensure your members, friends, family, and neighbors all support pro-labor, pro-public safety candidates and that they are registered to VOTE via Absentee Ballot or in person on November 6th, 2018.
