There’s three weeks until Election Day! The Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO will be hosting days of action every Saturday until then. If a Saturday doesn’t work, you can stop by the office at 2000 Walker St anytime to grab a packet and knock whenever it works for you. Or if knocking doors isn’t your thing, you can always drive for someone else. Bottom line, we need all hands on deck in this final push to elect labor-friendly, union-endorsed candidates!

The state senators in red voted No on ensuring that the proposed steel mill in Lee County would be built with union labor. Disappointing but not surprising. Vote for labor-friendly candidates November 3.

Every name in red below voted "Nay" on IBEW Brother Senator Tom Townsend's amendment to the bill expanding tax incentives for a mega project. The amendment would have required the developer to enter into one or more Project Labor Agreements, which protect worker safety and guarantee fair wages and benefits.

Remember this on November 3rd, Siblings.

Amendment read as follows:
NEW SUBSECTION. 22A. "Project labor agreement" means a comprehensive pre-hire collective bargaining agreement that is negotiated between an eligible business and an appropriate labor organization and that sets out the basic terms and working conditions for that project.

2. Page 2, after line 9 by inserting:
Sec. ___. Section 15.494, subsection 1, Code 2026, is amended by adding the following new paragraph:
NEW PARAGRAPH. h. The eligible business must enter into one or more project labor agreements for any construction to be performed for the project.

3. By renumbering as necessary.

Sen. Thomas Townsend
