Political Action Task Force

Political Friends of Chicago Labor

Local 130 works hard to ensure our voice is heard in government, where law and votes rule our fate. Supporting those community leaders who have helped labor in the past and will help labor in the future is key, not only to our well being, but our very survival! These friends of Local 130 are critical to us and we need to do all that we can to ensure their political longevity.

Local 130 Manpower

Anyone can write a check, but our leaders need people! People to rally and get the word out – to support and work in the local communities where critical votes can make or break a candidate. For 3 weekends prior to elections, Local 130 members engage strategic communities throughout our jurisdiction, passing out literature and verbally supporting our candidate for that area.

Other labor organizations provide feet on the street in the tens and twenties. On average, over 200 Local 130 members are mobilized on behalf of our labor friendly politicians each weekend. This is the kind of support that can’t be bought and it’s the kind of support Local 130 does best!

Thank You to Active PATF Members

It’s you, the Local 130 Members who are active in this process that make our union strong! We are extremely grateful to those who further the goals of our Labor movement through this key democratic process. Many people today don’t have time, don’t care or don’t believe they make a difference, but they are wrong. They can make a difference. YOU can make a difference. It’s YOU, our active Local 130 PATF brothers and sisters who make a difference today and build a better tomorrow for all of us. GET INVOLVED!
