🗳️🇺🇸 ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW! WHO MAKES THE DECISIONS THAT AFFECT YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE?
When we talk about elections, much of the attention goes to national politics. But some of the decisions that affect our families, neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces are made much closer to home.
🏛️ LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER!
Think about the issues that affect your daily life:
🏫 Public Education: School funding, classroom resources, and policies affecting students and teachers.
🏘️ Housing & Affordability: Zoning, housing development, and local housing policies.
🚍 Transportation: Public transit, road maintenance, sidewalks, and neighborhood infrastructure.
👷🏾♀️ Workers’ Rights: Local labor policies, public employee working conditions, and government contracts.
🚒 Public Safety: Funding and priorities for emergency services and community safety.
💰 Your Tax Dollars: Decisions about local budgets, public services, and community investments.
These decisions don’t happen by themselves. Elected officials help make them.
As someone who has spent years volunteering at polling locations, talking with voters, and advocating for working families, I’ve learned something important:
Democracy doesn’t begin and end in Washington, D.C. It lives in our communities.
Your county council members, school board representatives, state legislators, and other elected officials make decisions that can shape your community for years to come.
📢 TOMORROW, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2026, IS ELECTION DAY!
✅ Research the candidates running for local office.
✅ Understand the responsibilities of each position.
✅ Review the ballot questions.
✅ Know your polling location.
✅ Make time to cast your ballot.

Because elections aren’t just about who wins. They’re about who gets to make the decisions that affect our lives.

The countdown is almost over! Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Maryland voters will have an opportunity to make their voices heard on an important ballot question affecting state employees and collective bargaining rights.
⚖️ QUESTION 1: WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR WORKING PEOPLE?
Maryland Question 1 proposes a constitutional amendment addressing binding arbitration in collective bargaining for certain state employees.
When workers and employers reach an impasse in negotiations, binding arbitration provides a process for a neutral decision-maker to resolve the dispute.
💪🏾 WHY DOES THIS CONVERSATION MATTER?
As a longtime union shop steward and labor advocate, I’ve spent years standing alongside working people, listening to their concerns, and advocating for fair treatment in the workplace.
I know that collective bargaining is more than a legal process. It affects real people, real families, and the working conditions that shape their everyday lives.
📢 BEFORE YOU VOTE TOMORROW:
✅ Learn what Maryland Question 1 proposes.
✅ Understand the role of binding arbitration.
✅ Review the ballot language and make an informed decision.
✅ Encourage your family, friends, and coworkers to learn about the issues before heading to the polls.

🚨 UPS TEAMSTERS: KNOW YOUR CONTRACT! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! ✊🏾📦
A union contract is more than a piece of paper. It’s a legally enforceable agreement that protects workers’ rights, wages, benefits, and working conditions.
If you’re a UPS Teamster, understanding your collective bargaining agreement is essential to protecting what you and your fellow union members fought to achieve.
💪 Knowledge is power. Solidarity is strength!
Every UPS Teamster should understand:
✅ Your contractual rights and protections.
✅ Your job classification, seniority, and work opportunities.
✅ Your rights concerning overtime, scheduling, and working conditions.
✅ The grievance process when contractual rights are violated.

A contract is only as strong as our willingness to understand it, enforce it, and stand together.

Whether you’re a package handler, delivery driver, or qualifying cover driver, don’t rely on rumors or assumptions. Read your contract, ask questions, and speak with your union steward when something doesn’t seem right.
