I feel, and I hope, that Labor will get involved in their local Democratic Committees. The best way is for Labor Leaders, or their Delegates, to run for seats on the Local Committees and assume Leadership Positions on the Executive Committees. This assures the 'Labor Voice' will be heard and that their hard-earned dues will not be wasted by these committees.

I fully support the agenda of both the Niagara-Orleans AFL-CIO Central Labor Council and the Chautauqua County Labor Coalition. Whether anyone of us likes it or not, some level of politics is in our everyday workplaces and lives. Historically, the Democratic Party endorsed and elected candidates who have been more supportive to Working-Class Families than any other Party. Of late though, many in Labor are wondering and seeking for more answers in the lack of concern when it comes to Single-Payer Health Care, the Employee Free Choice Act, the preservation of very successful social programs as Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. So, unless there's a dramatic change to include/show more respect for Organized Labor, maybe it is time for Labor to, more then ever, push and financially support its own. Remember, 'we are the Middle Class' and we are taxpayers in every community. Thank You.
