At UCWA, we’re committed to creating policies that empower working families, protect workers’ rights, and ensure that democracy works for everyone—not just the wealthy few. Our advocacy focuses on economic fairness, labor protections, and transparency in public decision-making.
Big money has distorted our democracy, allowing corporations to influence policies at the expense of working people. UCWA’s advocacy teams across districts push for fair election funding, transparent governance, and stronger limits on corporate lobbying to restore the people’s voice in policymaking.
Across the nation, anti-labor forces continue trying to weaken workers’ ability to organize. UCWA stands firm against these efforts, working with lawmakers to strengthen collective bargaining laws, defend the right to unionize, and safeguard fair compensation and workplace dignity for all employees.
Internet connectivity is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. UCWA supports legislation ensuring that broadband infrastructure investments prioritize underserved communities, create good union jobs, and guarantee reliable service through domestic call centers and maintenance operations.
Rising medical expenses continue to strain working families. UCWA advocates for affordable prescription pricing, expanded healthcare access, and stronger protections for workers’ health benefits—so every member can focus on living, not just surviving.
We actively monitor how elected officials vote on labor issues—from defending retirement security to expanding workplace rights. Our Legislative Scorecard helps members stay informed and hold decision-makers accountable to the communities they serve.
UCWA’s Political Action Fund enables our members to take an active role in shaping public policy. We engage with lawmakers, educate members about key legislation, and organize grassroots campaigns to ensure that working-class priorities remain at the heart of every political decision.
