New SEIU 105 – 2014 Endorsement List Spanish<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Janitor<\/a>
Janitor member leader Maria Luisa Nunez fills out her Denver ballot- Oct. 22, 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There\u2019s a lot at stake in the upcoming election. It is critical that as working families we raise our voices through our vote to support candidates that won\u2019t take our hard earned work place rights back a century. Only by voting can we make our voices heard.<\/p>\n

Remember-<\/strong> you should have received your mail-in ballot already.<\/strong> If you haven\u2019t, you can go to http:\/\/www.justvotecolorado.org\/<\/a> to update your registration or register to vote. And don\u2019t forget to make sure that all of your friends vote. We can\u2019t win this election unless we show up at the polls!<\/p>\n

\"Kaiser<\/a>
Kaiser member leader Bea Griffin volunteers to knock on doors in Jefferson County to Get Out the Vote- Sept. 23, 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Right to Work<\/strong>
\n\u201cRight to Work\u201d is a misleading term that really means \u201cRight to Work for Less\u201d. It would effectively dismantle our ability to function and prohibit Unions from successfully advocating on behalf of their members. Right to work laws already exist in 24 states and Colorado could be next.<\/p>\n

Servicios de Salud<\/strong>
\nThe Affordable Care Act has significantly increased access to healthcare for thousands of Colorado residents and added jobs to our economy helping to life us out of the great recession. However, Congress has voted more than 50 times to repeal it. Also, the state legislature is in charge of implementing provisions of the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Medicaid. If we don\u2019t vote and support candidates who belief in quality health care for all, we could see the repeal or minimization of many of the healthcare programs that Coloradans depend on.<\/p>\n

Immigration<\/strong>
\nImmigration reform and legislation such as the DREAM Act (that would give residency to immigrants who graduate from high school, complete two years in the military or complete two years at a university) will be discussed at both the state and Federal level over the next two years. If we don\u2019t vote, millions of families will continue to be separated and forced to live in the shadows of our economy.<\/p>\n

Minimum Wage<\/strong>
\nSEIU is partnering with other organizations in the \u201cFight for 15\u201d to advocate for $15 per hour for fast food workers and other low wage workers. We also continue to advocate for an increase in the Federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. However, some candidates have voted against increasing the minimum wage. We need to elect people who understand that families can\u2019t survive on the current Federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. (Colorado\u2019s minimum wage is $8 per hour.)<\/p>\n

What can you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vote! And make sure to vote for the candidates endorsed by SEIU Local 105. See top of this post for the endorsement list.<\/p>\n
