Construction workers play a vital role in shaping our cities and infrastructure, yet our voices often go unheard. Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to influence decisions that directly affect our lives, such as labor laws, wages, safety regulations, and health care.
Elections determine who will make critical decisions about public projects, union rights and worker protections. By voting we can support candidates who prioritize fair wages safe working conditions and access to healthcare. Local elections, in particular, influence funding for infrastructure projects that create jobs and improve community services.
Moreover, elected officials set policies that can impact everything from workplace safety standards to retirement benefits. When construction workers vote, they not only protect their own interests but also advocate for a better future for their families and colleagues.
La participación política activa garantiza que se escuchen y atiendan las necesidades de los trabajadores de la construcción, lo que les permite formular políticas que reflejen sus preocupaciones, protejan sus medios de vida y mejoren la industria.
These are the reasons why we need to pay attention to who is running for office, not only in the presidential, congressional or senate seats but in our counties, cities and school boards. All of these people make decisions that affect us locally. Please educate yourself on who the union is endorsing and why. When we endorse candidates, we endorse them because we know that they have the best interest of the members of this union. GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!
