The New Year is almost here, and both Congress -- U.S. House of Representatives and Senate -- and the respective state legislatures will convene. Please take note of these detailed schedules as your UE Regions and Locals make plans for the coming year.

At our national convention in 2009 our union declared: “The ‘neoliberal’ corporate agenda affects us all. Downsizing and outsourcing in the private sector, privatization, deregulation, and budget cuts in the public sector, along with ‘free trade’ agreements, negatively impact working people globally.” We declared: “The fate of our planet demands that we place the well being of the majority of the world’s people ahead of profits for the few.”

Our national and state elections are fast approaching on Tuesday, November 2. The stakes are high – and so is the frustration level of most working people, UE members included. With unemployment running at double digit levels, corporations wiping out health benefits and pension plans, and public sector budgets and workers under assault from all sides -- the 2010 election will be one of the most critical contests we have faced in years.
