Policy Impacts Paychecks, So Make Sure You Are Registered to Vote

For IBEW Local 71 members and their families, being registered to vote is not just a civic responsibility, is a practical way to protect your livelihood and your community. The work we do and the standards we expect on the job are influenced by decisions made at every level of government. When you are registered to vote, you are prepared to have a say in who makes those decisions and what priorities they pursue.

Voting and political policy are directly connected. Elected officials set policies that shape the economy and the construction market, including infrastructure investment, energy and utility policy, permitting, workforce development and public contracting rules. These decisions can affect whether projects move forward, how work is awarded and whether strong labor standards are required. In other words, policy can influence how much union work is available and how stable that work is over time.

Political decisions also impact the standards that help IBEW members earn a living wage with strong benefits. Laws and regulations can strengthen or weaken workplace protections, jobsite safety enforcement and the ability of working people to bargain collectively. When policies support high labor standards, they help sustain careers that provide fair pay, quality health coverage, retirement security, and dignity on the job.
