UA Local 398, the Benchmark for Productivity
Over the years you have probably heard us talking at union meetings about the importance of unions being involved in politics. Your Local has spent important time and resources to find the politicians who not only tell us what they will do for our members but also deliver on those promises. Candidates know how important it is to have unions (especially the members of the building and construction trades) endorsing their campaigns. Therefore, we take our endorsements very seriously. One of the great things about our country and our democracy is that we each have an individual choice when it comes to casting our vote. Our job is to recommend to you the candidates and measures that will help Local 398 members the most, by protecting the jobs, wages, and retirement security we have fought so hard for over the decades. You may not agree on everything a politician stands for; you may even hate their guts for one reason or another. For me, the single most important thing is, when the time comes, will this person have our backs?
