Formal committees: Under the Council’s Constitution, Delegates are elected to serve on committees:

• Community Services: Supports working families through civic engagement. Develops relationships with community partners and assists with events and rallies.
• Credentials Committee: Orients new Delegates and encourages participation.
• Legislation Committee: Works with state and national bodies to monitor and propose legislation, organize lobbying efforts, and make appropriate recommendations to the Executive Committee.
• Union Label Committee: Promotes union products and services.

Other volunteer opportunities: The more you participate, the more powerful we are.

• I Hour for Power Campaign: Launched in 2010, this is the Council’s ongoing member engagement campaign. With 134,034 members, volunteers build strength.
• Campaign Leaders: Rank & file members who make specific time commitments during political campaign season to help run our phone banks and precinct walks.
• “Lost-Timers”: Rank & file or staff members released on paid work time to the Labor Council for work on specific campaigns.

Congress just passed $800 Billion in cuts to Medicaid – stripping away healthcare benefits for 13.7 million Americans, just so they can give more tax breaks to their wealthy and well-connected donors and supporters.

Now the fight moves to the Senate. We’ll be calling voters in Republican Senate districts – Hawley in Missouri, Tillis in North Carolina and Sullivan in Alaska, asking voters to call their Senator to say NO to Medicaid Cuts!

We’ll be using a dialer system to make the calls so you’ll need to use a computer or laptop and have internet access. We’ll do a short training at the beginning of each shift
