Committed to Electing Candidates dedicated to the Welfare of Working America
October 7, 2020
Dear Brothers & Sisters,
In the midst of a global pandemic and economic downturn, a heated and unusual
Presidential election is drawing closer to its end. The November election might
turn out to be the most important of the 21st century so far. Although it may
seem like we say this every year, I believe it has never been truer.
Over the past two years, unions have been forced to defend ourselves from
vicious attacks from anti-labor groups and politicians. In addition, we have been
fighting to protect the plumbing licensing law against non-union and other trade
groups alike.
That is why I am asking you as well as your family and friends to vote for the labor
friendly candidates that we are endorsing in the letter. These candidates have
worked to support working families and the plumbing licensing law.
Over the next three Saturdays before the election, Local 130’s Political Action
Task Force (PATF) will be helping our political friends by getting the vote out. I
encourage you to volunteer a couple hours of your time each Saturday to help
these candidates. There will be several locations from which you may choose and
all will be listed each week on our website at www.ualocal130.org.
Should you have any questions regarding these endorsed candidates or the PATF
Saturdays, please contact John D’Amico, Political Director, at (312) 421-1010, ext.
129.
Fraternally yours,
James F. Coyne Business Manager
