While Union Leaders Are ‘Cheering’ November 4th’s Election Wins, ‘Some Are Looking Ahead To What’s Next’

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Union Leaders are cheering wins By Pro-Worker candidates and a Pro-Worker cause - California’s Prop 50 - in the November 4th Election.

However, several are looking beyond that to next year’s campaign and balloting.

All said the results repudiated Republican President Donald Trump and his extremist MAGA agenda and corporate backers.

Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President April Verrett said the results augur well for next November’s wider national election: “When Working People organize together, we win together. This is just the beginning of what’s coming in 2026. We got next.”

SEIU tweeted on X: “Voters REJECTED the authoritarian playbook! Workers delivered a major win nationwide, from NYC to Virginia. We sent a clear message: WORKERS come first. Candidates who prioritize Workers - like (Zohran) Mamdani, (Mikie) Sherrill and (Abigail) Spanberger - won BIG. Voters rebuked policies that have shut down our government, vastly increased health care costs, dismantled public services, militarized our cities and demonized our Immigrant neighbors.”

National AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler said Unions “would run an unprecedented ground game” through next year’s voting to inform and educate their Members and the wider public about what’s at stake for Workers in the battle against corporate greed, multi-billionaires and their political handmaidens.
