Our mission is to build an independent political power for working people by driving a pro-worker legislative agenda, electing pro-worker candidates including our own members to office, holding elected officials accountable, and winning policies on all levels to help working people.
To achieve our goal the “we” must be all of us. If all of us work together, we can build a movement that is constantly growing and full inclusive.
Do you live in the Triad area? Interested in hearing what your local candidates have to say about labor issues that directly affect you as a union member? Join us in Colfax, NC on Tuesday, September 25th at 6:00pm for a Town Hall with Congressional District 13 Candidate Kathy Manning and NC State House District 31 Candidate John Motsinger.
