Proposition S

Through an aggressive phone banking and mail campaign that contacted over 100,000 union registered voters, Los Angeles workers helped deliver the vote to ensure the passage of Proposition S. Its passage will ensure that about $270 million, about 6% of the City's entire general budget remains intact to preserve vital services such as police, fire, libraries and youth recreation programs.

For four weeks, hundreds of workers, including sanitation workers, iron workers, librarians, hotel workers, nurses, janitors, and cafeteria workers, volunteered over 2,800 hours to get the word out on the importance of voting yes on Proposition S. Approximately 49,760 voters were spoken to by workers. An additional 331,000 mail pieces were sent to union members.

Local 78 wishes to thank the following officers for attending a phone bank and volunteering their time toward the effort to get the job done!! We would also like to thank Local 250 for hosting the phone bank.

Gary Cook, Doug Marian, Ron Miller, Anthony Moreno, Doug Wilson, Angela Diaz, Matt Montgomery, Brad Torres, Fernando Flores, Dan Grody & Danny Navarro
