Attend your precinct caucus!

I'm a Union Member, and think this is something any of you should consider when caucusing

Our
First-in-the-Nation Iowa Caucuses provide Iowans and Iowa union members
an extraordinary voice in choosing the next President.

Below
are some sample Platform Resolutions. We encourage you to clip or copy
these platform planks and present them at your precinct caucus.

We support state
legislation amending Chapter 731 and the pertinent parts of Chapter 20
of the Iowa Code to allow private and public sector workers in Iowa to
negotiate “fair-share” clauses that ensure that all workers covered by
and benefiting from a negotiated contract would share in the cost of
the service provided. 

We support a
prevailing wage law for Iowa construction workers on certain government
projects to promote its proven beneficial effects on the economy, on
construction quality and on worker safety.

We support legislation that allows Iowa workers who are injured on the job to choose their own medical care providers.

We support legislation that expands the scope of bargaining for public sector employees.

We support passage by Congress of the Employee Free Choice Act to protect the rights of workers to form unions and bargain collectively.

We support passage of HR 676 which would assure universal coverage of all medically necessary services for all Americans.
