Resolution No. 5 will permit constituency groups to affiliate directly with the Federation at the state level. This resolution converts the special assessments to regular payments of 10 cents per member, per month, and adds two cents for the Federation's general fund. Federation per capita has not increased since 1988, and at the new rate still falls well below the national state federation average. Watch California Labor News for a summary.

Convention recommends pro-worker candidates Eight ballot measures examined.
Nearly 600 elected delegates to the 23rd Biennial Convention examined candidates for public service, and voted to make these recommendations for 153 offices and eight ballot measures. The Convention's recommendations are the result of intensive volunteer efforts at central labor and building trades councils to identify important issues for working people, to inform and interview candidates. As workers prepare to make important choices this fall, the Federation makes these recommendations. Watch our website for more information about key issues, Convention photos and reports. Federal election law prohibits us from posting federal endorsements on the website.
