CWA’s Tarlau Endorsed for Mt. Rainier City Council
Wednesday, April 4, 2007
Local labor activist Jimmy Tarlau – a staff rep for the
Communications Workers of America – has been endorsed by the Metro Washington
Council AFL-CIO in his bid for the Mt. Rainier City Council Ward 1 seat. The
election is on May 7th and Tarlau also has the support of the incumbent, Carol
Gandee, who is not running for re-election. Tarlau spearheaded the successful
campaign earlier this year to stop the Mt Rainier Council from abolishing
collective bargaining, coordinating Labor Council support with an effective
grassroots campaign. “I pledge to work tirelessly for our town and to increase
the communications between the Council and the residents of Ward 1,” says
Tarlau. To volunteer for GOTV efforts the weekend of May 5-6, sign up on
Tarlau’s
website.
