Vote-Cope
The need for VOTE-COPE, our Union’s voluntary political action fund, does not diminish in retirement. Many political issues effect our retirees directly. Vote-Cope contributions ensure that our collective voices are heard on the local, state and federal level on the issues that are so vital to us. Issues such as:
- Pension Protection and Earned Benefits
- Defending and advocating for increased support for Social Security and Medicare for all retirees
- Improving the COLA
- Working to elect candidates, regardless of political affiliation, who are Pro-Public Education
- Affordable, accessible and high-quality Health Care for allAmericans
- A commitment to Justice, fighting Discrimination, Hatred and Bigotry of all sorts
- A strong and vibrant democracy that embraces LABOR and supports the RIGHT to VOTE for all Americans including a free press and an independent judiciary.
