It’s the same way in elections — and that’s why our union helped found the Working Families Party.

This year, tens of thousands of union members across New York will stand together and make our voices heard for good jobs, affordable housing and quality schools by voting on the Working Families ballot line for Bill de Blasio for Mayor.

Will you pledge to join tens of thousands of union members and progressive New Yorkers in voting on the Working Families Party ballot line for de Blasio for Mayor?

Working Families Party is our party — founded by unions like ours to fight for good jobs, affordable housing and quality schools for every New Yorker. This year, the Working Families Party and the Councilmembers it helped elect led the fight for New York City’s paid sick days law and are helping to end the unconstitutional stop-and-frisk era.  Working Families also fights union-busting by Bloomberg, Cablevision, Verizon and other greedy bosses.

This November, Bill de Blasio and dozens of other pro-labor, progressive candidates will also be listed on the Working Families line on the ballot. Voting on the Working Families ballot line, instead of the Democratic line, counts for the candidates, and also sends politicians a message about making sure our city works for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

Will you pledge to join tens of thousands of union members and progressive New Yorkers in voting on the Working Families Party ballot line for de Blasio for Mayor?

If enough of us vote on the Working Families Party ballot line for de Blasio and the other progressive candidates, it will send a message that no politician can ignore.

Thanks for all you do.
