From the AFL-CIO

Dear Fellow Brothers and Sisters,

Here are some basic political action items that we should all be aware of and some simple actions that we can take on behalf of the labor movement and finances to states and schools.  Please remember to vote on Tuesday.  Labors endorsed candidates are below as well.



1) Tell Gov and Legislators to Stop Tax Breaks for Millionaires and Billionaires:
Use NYSUT's link to tell Governor Cuomo and your NYS legislators to tax fairly and stop the scheduled tax break for millionaires and billionaires.
