Politcal Action

Many of you have made it clear that you don't like having other people's agenda pushed on you, or that you don't appreciate being told how to vote. Local 118 encourages you to vote the way you feel is responsible. We hope you use that vote to protect the labor movement.

The Department of Political & Legislative Affairs handles all political, legislative, and governmental affairs matters for the UA. Stay current on the issues facing the pipelines here:  https://www.uagetinvolved.org/legislative-issues
