Local 1059 members have the opportunity to join our Active Ballot Club (ABC), which is our way of raising money to support political candidates and legislation favorable to working men and women.

The Active Ballot Club is the voluntary, non-partisan political and educational arm of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. Its goals are to encourage members to register and vote to exercise their full rights and responsibilities as citizens. ABC is dedicated to working for good government and democratic practices and to reassuring the highest ethical conduct in government.

The bulk of funds that push for the various special interest legislation comes from wealthy individuals or power conglomerates; and in general we as working people are not going to benefit from these special interests. It is necessary that we have strong legislation and the only way we can provide such strong legislation is by raising money to support or counter the staggering amounts of money being raised by anti-worker special interests.

Local 1059's Active Ballot Club weekly contribution is either 25 cents, 50 cents, or $1.00 per week. Though your contribution is strictly voluntary, we ask that all members participate and join our Active Ballot Club through this important contribution.

You may download an ABC Authorization Form and mail it to us. For more information on our Active Ballot Club, contact the union office.
