The Election is just a few weeks away. I am sure everyone is sick of hearing about it but it is crucial that we get labor friendly candidates in office to keep us working and to hold the rights that the generations before us fought so hard for us to have. Below is a complete list of Building Trades endorsed candidates. On top of the Building Trades, the Local Representative has met with most of these candidates and the Local has elected to give them 913’s endorsement as well. Aside from the Presidential race, we have some key races going on locally. The most important probably being the SF Mayor Race. If you are a SF resident we urge you to Vote for Mark Farrell and Ahsha Safai. SF does ranked choice voting so either of those candidates 1 & 2 will be good for labor. If you are not yet registered, you still have time to do so by following the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
