What is a Labor Walk?

If you’ve never participated in one, Labor Walks are a fun way to get out and spend a Saturday morning.

We meet up with AFT members from various locals. After a brief training we split into teams, get walk packets and head out “on the doors” to talk to union households about what is at stake in these critical elections. We share some information about the candidates and where they stand on the issues that matter most to working families and then we meet back at the union hall to turn in our packets.

It’s not about supporting Democrats or Republicans. It’s about the issues that affect our ability to earn a living and do our jobs to the best of our abilities. Some candidates make that easier and some make it harder. The overwhelming majority of people that we speak to are friendly and appreciate that we took the time to talk with them. Come at 9:00 a.m, talk to some folks, and by 12:00 noon you’re finished. It is three hours well spent and you still have your Saturday ahead of you.
