NWJCLC Labor Walks

Brothers & Sisters,

The Northwest Jersey Central Labor Council will commence labor walks this Saturday at the following time and location:

Saturday, September 14th 2019 at 9am
IBEW Local 102
50 Parsippany Rd (1st floor cafeteria)
Parsippany, NJ 07054
(Parking in rear of building)

The purpose of these walks is to support fellow union members running for office and those candidates that support labor values.

These walks will continue every Saturday at the same time and location until Election Day.

We assign a group of volunteers and they are directed via a mobile app to visit homes of registered voters who are part of a labor organization, the goal is to inform them of labor friendly candidates in their upcoming election.

I would like Local 60 to be represented so please contact me if interested, we can get a group together on a date that works for everyone.

Coffee, bagels, and refreshments will be provided.

Fraternally,

Scott Spratt LCA-A LC/VLC GCA-610
