Active Ballot Club is the UFCW Political Action Committee (PAC)
Candidates come and go, but legislative issues are an everlasting constant concern for our members.
Why does ABC Matter?
Active Ballot Club, or ABC is a way that union members can use their dollars to build political power for workers. Elections matter because when we elect labor friendly people, we can influence laws that set a floor on issues like paid sick days, minimum wages, and worker safety. We do this by supporting worker-friendly candidates running for office at the Local, State & Federal level.
Where does the ABC money go?
ABC pays for member-to-member communication about the union’s political program and helps the union lobby for pro-worker laws in city halls and county government , at our state capital, and in Washington DC. It allows UFCW members to have a larger platform and get worker’s issues out in public. ABC gives your local union the resources necessary to stand up to corporate America and defend against attacks on organized labor.
