All appointed Local 251 Stewards will belong to this committee.

As public employees we have the opportunity to elect our bosses. These are the people that control our contracts, that appoint people to personal boards, and appoint the directors to departments. The PEOPLE/ Political Action Committee will work to advance the mission of the union through member engagement in political and legislative action. We need to be aware of legislative issues that could affect not only our Union but for all of our Union brothers and sisters. We are the strongest when we stand together as one. This committee will consist of 5 members will one of those 5 members appointed as the chair of the committee.
