Union members in Indiana are engaged in one of the most agressive political campaigns across the country to elect Barack Obama as President, Jill Long Thompson (D) as Governor, and worker-friendly statehouse candidates who oppose Right-to-Work for less
laws. In every region of the state union members are out every day, spreading the word to their fellow members at the doorsteps, on the phones, at the work-sites, and through the mail.

These are scary times for working people. After nine straight months of job loss, a housing crisis, and a collapse on Wall Street, we need to hear the candidates present clear plans for turning our economy in a new direction. Zach Mischo, a mail handler in Denver, says "first and foremost in everybody’s mind I think right now is the financial crisis. Every one of us of is feeling the effects of that and is going to for a long time to come."

McCain’s recent "I feel your pain" rhetoric on the economy simply doesn’t wash with working families. His record is clear. He’s spent more than a quarter century in Washington getting rid of rules governing Wall Street and supporting CEOs instead of families.

This election is about change for working people, and Alaska is a state that hangs in the balance.

Many people across the country are paying attention to Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, as AFL-CIO endorsed Democrat Mark Begich attempts to unseat indicted 40-year incumbent Ted Stevens. But that isn’t the only race that could signal substantial change in Alaska.

Democrat Ethan Berkowitz is posing a serious threat to 35-year incumbent Don Young in the race for Alaska’s only U.S. House seat.

Ironworkers Local 495 sent out a local union mailing to their members last Tuesday. Members toiled for hours stuffing packets and grappling with the stapler, but it’s all worth it to have the satisfaction of knowing that the local is doing its part in this election by reaching out to its members. Local union mailings are a critical component to the Labor 2008 program. Kudos Ironworkers Local 495!

"We’re sending out a mailing to our members on the candidates that we have endorsed and related information that they should be aware of," says Jerry Romero, Business Agent for Ironworkers Local 495. "We strongly support Barack Obama for president. He believes in unions and the Employee Free Choice Act, and he opposes NAFTA. We want to make sure that our members support him."
