There are 7-days until the 2022 Elections! Do you have a few hours to help support candidates who support working people?
We all have an interest in who our elected leaders are, but for public sector workers the stakes are particularly high. Elected officials have great influence over your wages and benefits, over the privatization of public services, and indeed just about every aspect of your work lives.
Here are a few ways you can help elect candidates that support working people:
