· Vibrant local unions and progressive social movements don't just happen; they are planned for and worked on by people like you; members who care about the future and status of our union; members who care about what kind of future we want for all working families. One way to make a difference in all aspects of our union movement is through standing committees :

The Citizenship and Legislative Committee, most often referred to as the Community Action Program (CAP), is the worksite political-legislative arm of the local union and the vital workplace political activator.

Our Community Services Committee works through public and private organizations to assure the members faced with problems in emergency situations get relief when needed.
