political education

Every election year, the affiliated union organizations that comprise the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO,
vote on which candidates and initiatives to endorse.
The WSLC then makes every effort to inform union members about these endorsements and why they were made.

Don't Invest in More Excuses!

Only lawmakers who stand up for working families deserve organized labor's financial support. That's why the Washington State Labor Council created the "Don't Invest In More Excuses" Political Action Committee (DIME PAC). Its mission is to recruit and elect champions of Washington's working families. THAT'S how we will defend against attacks on workers' rights and it's how we will put government's focus on creating and maintaining good jobs. Click here for a DIME PAC contribution form so you can contribute to keep Washington a great place to live and work! Unions can make contributions by sending checks payable to "DIME PAC" to the WSLC, 314 First Ave. West, Seattle, WA, 98119. For more info, contact WSLC Political Director Karen Deal at 206-281-8901.
