New Jersey AFSCME members and leaders worked tirelessly during the November gubernatorial and Assembly elections in November. Even though the outcome of the election is now widely known, it is still important to state that the leadership of our Union is proud of all the volunteers, coordinators and staff who pa rticipated in our voter registration, member-to-member contact program, as well as our get-out-the-vote operation on Election Day.
AFSCME In ActionNew Jersey Election '09 RecapBecause the scorecard from statewide elections last November favored New Jersey’s working families, the legislative outlook in 2010 is cautious but hopeful. According to a post-election report submitted by John Shea III, COPE director to the New Jersey State AFL-CIO, the federation’s Labor 2009 Program was the most innovative and aggressive member political mobilization initiative ever undertaken. Shea’s report said, “According to the AFL-CIO weekly tracking polls, more than 80% of all AFL-CIO union members recalled being contacted by Labor 2009 – in the workplace, by mail, phone and volunteers knocking on their door.”
