Together, we’ve fought back against economic inequality. We’ve put all Californians on a path to better pay and workplace protections; we’ve stopped attacks on your job security and voice as city, county, and public service workers.
But there’s still a lot of work to do.
We’ve got candidate recommendations – whether you live in the Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, or the Tri-Counties region!

Public workers have felt the brunt of multi-millionaires’ greed, with cuts to key public services hurting us all, and understaffing across cities and counties forcing so many to work more for less. Voting is how we make sure working families have the opportunity to do better. Our union voice matters!
So show your power and make your voice heard at the ballot box! Vote for candidates who will stand up for working families and make sure your fellow union members vote, too!

Our top story this month is the victory by San Bernardino Professionals, a textbook example of how member leadership can use the “Power of Purple” — our union’s deep resources; our experienced negotiators; our skilled team of attorneys, researchers, and communications experts; and our relationships with community, clergy, and political leaders — to win game-changing wins at the bargaining table.
Eligible candidates may begin to collect signatures from current full dues- paying members in good standing starting on July 8, 2016.
Attention members! There’s been a recent change to how members can access recreation ticket services.
Since 1960, the American Public Works Association has sponsored National Public Works Week. Over 29,000 APWA members across the US and Canada use this week to energize and educate the public on the importance of public works to their daily lives: planning, building, managing and operating at the heart of their local communities to improve everyday quality of life.
As one individual you may not think your vote will make a difference. But just imagine the powerful impact of our collective votes as tens of thousands of union members combined. Our voices are louder together.
