UFCW 1518 votes on October 20!

The municipal election is fast approaching! This October 20, working people across British Columbia will head to the polls to elect new mayors, city councilors, park board commissioners and school board trustees. This is a critically important election! Local governments have a major impact on people’s daily lives, yet municipal elections historically have the lowest voter turnout. Union members need to change that. The labour vote is powerful: there are 500,000 unionized workers throughout the province. If we all vote for progressive candidates, we can improve the lives of working people, our communities and the environment.

Will you vote?

All working people should vote this October 20. And bring your family, friends and neighbours. Organize a carpool of your co-workers or elders in your neighbourhood. UFCW 1518 members take the pledge here.
