No other workforce has more at stake in decisions made by elected officials. The legislature affects our pay, benefits, and working conditions. Our members need to lobby legislators to fund our 2025-2027 collective bargaining agreements and pass pro-labor, pro-worker legislation.

Join us for your district's lobby day.
