Committee On
Political Education
The Committee On Political Education (COPE) meets
every election cycle to interview candidates and
discuss other issues on the ballot. The COPE
interview process focuses on issues of importance to
working people. All affiliated local unions are
encouraged to participate in the COPE process. When
the process is complete the COPE participants vote
whether or not to endorse (recommend) a candidate
based on interview answers and past voting record as
it relates to labor issues. A similar evaluation
process is conducted for ballot measures and other
issues that may be on the ballot.
Even though most working people
would find the COPE process a valuable tool is
assisting them to make decisions at election time,
we feel, for legal reasons, we must limit access to
COPE endorsements on this web site to union members.
We apologize for any inconvenience that may cause
for working people who don't belong to a union.
