Political Action: Why we need to GET INVOLVED
Political decisions impact the lives of our members and their families every day. When we elect candidates who support workers and labor unions, they in turn support legislation and policies that create jobs and help workers once they are elected to public office.
But the reality is that we cannot do any of this without your support and participation. Positive change for working families cannot and will not happen unless labor organizations and their members lead the way. In order to help our members become more active and involved in the political process, the UA Political Department has developed many user-friendly communication tools available on this site so that all UA members and supporters can join these efforts.
So please join us – Stand Up, Make a Difference, Make Sure YOUR Voice is heard by Political Candidates and Elected Officials in YOUR Area. If you do, they WILL listen. There is nothing more powerful than when political leaders hear from their own constituents.
YOUR future is at stake. NOW is the time to GET INVOLVED.

Nevertheless, some of our opponents continue to attack this law at a national level at the behest of low-road corporations who would rather pad their profits than pay decent wages and benefits. The Department has been largely successful in defeating these attacks in the past and will continue to do everything it can promote this important law.

Energy
At the UA, we believe that an economy built to last must make the most of America’s energy resources. It must be fueled by homegrown and alternative energy sources that strengthen our economy, promote steady job growth, and make us more secure and less dependent on foreign oil. That is why we support an “all of the above” approach to developing new sources of energy, expanding oil and gas production, boosting renewable power generation, supporting growth in nuclear power, and… Read More
