AFL-CIO Volunteer Labor Walks - Bridgeport, New London & Waterbury (POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER)

BREAKING: THE OCTOBER 27 LABOR WALKS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO POTENTIAL STORM CONDITIONS.

The Connecticut AFL-CIO is organizing door-to-door canvasses in local communities across the state to allow union members to volunteer and get involved in supporting labor-endorsed candidates. These activities will focus on competitive races for the state legislature, the U.S. House of Representatives and state constitutional offices on the Nov. 6 election ballot.

Election Day is November 6, 2018. The stakes are higher than ever.

Council 4's legislative and political action program is geared toward defending our pay, benefits and voice on the job -- all of which are under attack by the same ultra-wealthy and corporate special interests that bankrolled the Janus v. AFSCME case, in which the Supreme Court nationalized "Right To Work For Less."

As more Americans realize unions may be their best bet to reverse economic trends that favor the rich and powerful, the labor movement faces relentless attacks from the very forces that benefit the most from economic inequality. Shadowy front groups funded by billionaires spend millions of dollars attacking unions in the courts, in the media, and at the ballot box.
