The Northern California Carpenter - May 2012 Vol. 15 No. 5

Make your vote count

For June 5 primary, NCCRC recommends

Below is a list of the candidates we're recommending in the upcoming primary election. Our union supports these candidates because they support us.

There are lots of issues people consider as they decide how to cast their vote. Your union's Executive Committee voted to recommend these candidates because they have supported us on Carpenter issues like fair trade, protecting prevailing wage and creating jobs.

Make no mistake, there's a direct link between political action and jobs. In this tough economy, we need political action now more than ever. Whether by absentee ballot, or at the polls on Election Day, get active this election.
