Election Day is just weeks away and if we’re going to have leaders who will deal with the pandemic, protect workers’ rights, access to affordable healthcare, climate change, social justice, strong economy, affordable housing, safety regulations, and protect RBG’s legacy, our democracy is at stake, we must vote like our lives depend on it – because they do.

Voter turnout will decide the election, so union members and their families must vote to decide our future for years to come. A Bay Area civil rights legend, Betty Reid Soskin, one of the original Rosie’s from Rosie the Riveter turned 99 years old, her advice to the country was to go out and vote. Soskin said "I don't think there's ever been an election that's more important than this one, ever, since a great experiment began in 1776. Someone who has lived through over 20 presidential elections in her life says this election is the most important you have to take that seriously!!!

If you’ve been impacted by the recent wildfires in California, you may be eligible to receive a $500 Disaster Relief Grant that doesn't have to be repaid.

Please review our Disaster Relief Grant page for eligibility and program requirements and then contact a member of our Union Plus Member Advocacy Team for personal assistance at 800-472-2005.

We wish you and your family health and safety during this challenging time.

This year, Labor Day looks a lot different for many of us. The usual activities—the parades, backyard barbecues, and gatherings with friends and families—will be muted, postponed or canceled altogether.
