Making our voices heard in City Hall, Albany and Washington, D.C.
Political Action Department (PAL)
DC 37’s Political Action department upholds the union and its mission by pushing forth the union’s legislative agenda, lobbying elected officials on the city and state level to support or oppose legislative items that have a significant impact on DC 37 members. Political Action has helped the union win a number of key political victories that have benefited NY’S public employees.
Which Candidates Does My Union Support?
For each election, the DC 37 Political Action Committee Chair and a Screening Committee comprised of 15 Local presidents conduct candidate interviews and recommend political endorsements to the DC 37 Executive Board and DC 37 Delegates for a vote of approval.
