For public employees, the people we elect determine the quality of our lives and our livelihood. Our wages, benefits, working conditions, health and safety, and even whether we have jobs at all, are in the hands of officials who influence our future. This is why political action is a union priority.

Here's three actions you can take to make sure we're dealing with union-friendly politicians next legislative session.
