From Alaska to Florida, to battleground states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, working with the AFL-CIO through the Labor 2008 program, helped make the difference for the Obama-Biden ticket and other pro-worker candidates this year.
Thousands of IBEW members volunteered--knocking on doors, leafleting workplaces, making phone calls and stuffing envelopes--to convince their co-workers to vote for candidates who have built strong records of supporting working families.
"These efforts weren't just about partisan politics," says International President Edwin D. Hill. "They were about the very survival of working families. I am so proud of the work of our members in Labor 2008."
Watch a recap of the IBEW's efforts.
