Governmental Affairs Department
The SMWIA Government Affairs Department works for the interests of members and their families on Capitol Hill and in America’s State Capitals. The Government Affairs Department promotes the union by testifying on Capitol Hill, lobbying members of Congress on issues that matter to members, coordinating with local unions to empower members at the local level and by working with the SMWIA’s fellow AFL-CIO unions. It achieves its purpose through the collective voice of the SMWIA’s members and their families.
Additionally, the SMWIA Political Action League (PAL) raises money through voluntary contributions from members and uses those funds to elect political leaders who are sympathetic to the cause of working Americans.
