Politics & Elections
The California Labor Federation works with local unions to elect “labor warriors” to federal, state and local governing bodies. We endorse candidates who support the issues that matter most to California's working families, and we fight to de-seat those who have proven to be anti-labor. We also provide analysis on how ballot propositions and referenda would affect California’s working families.
2012 Primary Endorsements
The California Labor Federation and local labor councils have announced Labor's endorsements for local, state and federal races and ballot measures for the June primary election.
Stop the Special Exemptions Act
The Special Exemptions Act, a measure appearing on the November statewide ballot, is not what it seems. While it claims to be about “stopping special interests” the measure actually gives special exemptions to corporate special interests, billionaire businessmen and Super PACs. It would do nothing to fix what’s broken in Sacramento. Instead, it would give even more power to the wealthy and well-connected to influence elections, control government and weaken our state’s middle class.
