LIUNA VOTES 2020

People choose to vote for different reasons. Many people vote because they are for or against an issue or candidate. For others, voting is about ensuring high voter turnout in the community, which results in greater access to elected officials and more of a say in decisions affecting the community.

For union members, this election will be crucial in deciding the future of our union. Union contracts, negotiated wages, health insurance, pensions, and training are in jeopardy!

What can union members do? VOTE FOR YOUR UNION. We must organize together and elect working-class champions. Champions who fight for unions – not against them. We need every single LIUNA vote.

TOGETHER WE CAN ELECT LEADERS WHO FIGHT FOR:

• Real infrastructure investment

• Davis Bacon and prevailing wage laws

• Retirement security for every worker

• Collective bargaining rights

• An all-of-the-above energy policy

• A Stronger Post Office

VOTE TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

This is our chance to use our POWER to say what kind of America we want to live and work in. Every vote does count! Many elections are decided by less than 100 votes. You send a message by what candidate or party you vote for. Even if your candidate does not win, the number of votes they do get impacts what is decided. Just how close the vote is changes who might run and win the next time. More union members voting can send the message that we want new policies and more attention to a particular issue.

HONOR OUR HISTORY AND THE RIGHT TO VOTE!

Voting is one of our most important rights as citizens. Since the founding of our nation, some communities have had to fight for the right to vote. There are still people today who would prefer to suppress the voting rights of people who do not look like them or share their views. It is our turn as union members to stand up and vote to preserve our rights and honor the struggle of those who came before us.

Building Trades National Medical Screening Program

The Building Trades National Medical Screening program is designed to identify health problems caused by hazardous substances that workers may have been exposed to while working on a Department of Energy site.

During this Program, you will complete a work history interview and a limited medical screening examination to identify risk factors for diseases that might develop in the future. We will also provide you with information on the risks and how to reduce them.

This Program is entirely voluntary and without cost to you. You will not be compensated for your participation. However, you may benefit in increased knowledge about your personal health. Your participation may also benefit future workers by helping to identify trends in groupings of information that may be important to their health and well-being. This Program is funded for a limited time. We cannot assure that it will be continued in the future, or that there will be another program to take its place.
