UTU PAC WORKS FOR YOU

It would be nice to open a box of Cracker Jack and find a prize for a lifetime of improved wages, rules and working conditions.

Back to reality.

Workers have shed considerable blood and endured substantial hardship to gain workplace rights such as the right to organize, bargain collectively and have grievances decided by a neutral third party.

Crucial to our success at the bargaining table is the neutrality of government. Gone are the dark days when employers could call upon government to send in armed troops to crush job actions, arrest workers carrying picket signs and imprison labor leaders. Those days are gone only because union political muscle helped to elect labor-friendly lawmakers.

In recent years, the tide was turning back against us. An anti-labor administration was appointing anti-labor federal judges and anti-labor federal officials with the consent of a conservative-controlled Congress.

In November, organized labor helped to return a labor-friendly majority to Congress. Labor’s concerns now have greater likelihood to be addressed through hearings, investigations and progressive legislation.

The UTU PAC played a significant role in helping to elect a labor-friendly majority to Congress. The winners know who helped put them there and their doors will be open to hear our concerns and recommended legislative solutions. 

Contributing to the UTU PAC is an investment in your future and the future of your family.

It’s not quite the fantasy prize we would like at the bottom of a box of Cracker Jack. But it’s darn near the next best thing.

Doesn’t it make good economic sense to contribute to the UTU PAC?
