As you know, there is much at stake for working people in this
year’s race for Governor and State Assembly in New Jersey.
Equally important are the local elections for the Board of
Chosen
Freeholders. Electing labor friendly candidates is crucial to
achieving
a working families agenda for our members.
In 2008, we scored a victory with the election of Barack Obama
to the
U.S. Presidency, and our Central Labor Council was instrumental
in
re-electing Frank Lautenberg to the U.S Senate and Steve Rothman
to
U.S. House of Representatives.
More importantly, we’ve worked throughout the year to hold
those elected politicians accountable to their campaign promises
by
garnering support for pro-worker legislation, project labor
agreements,
organizing and contract fights. In addition, we are one of
the few CLCs
that maintain a full-time Executive Director in order to more
successfully implement our campaigns. We hope to build upon our
past
success and continue to expand our program. These goals can only
be
achieved by a well financed, resourced and staffed Central
Labor Council
with the solidarity of the entire labor movement.
