What's at Stake in this year's Elections
Teamster members have a lot at stake in next year's legislative session, where state legislators will be writing a new budget for the next two years. Not only will this impact our members in the Department of Corrections, where the state approves funding for our Union contract, but every year we have to fight back against legislation attacking our pensions, our collective bargaining rights, and workers' compensation benefits.
Ballots for the General Election will be mailed by Friday, October 17th and you will have until November 4th to postmark your ballot and return to your County Auditor.
How you can Help
Every year we run an ambitious Get Out the Vote operation as voter contact matters. We know that if we want to have an impact in Olympia on the priorities we care about, we must have boots on the ground to help elect the candidates who support our priorities. Check out our 2014 General Election Voter Contact Activities page to find events near you or to find out more information about how you can help be involved.
