The MIC Slate Wants to Put Members in Charge!

From the shop floor to the union hall, our members need more than just representation—Local 1549 members need to be empowered and in charge of our union!

MIC Slate Platform: What We Stand For

MIC Slate Platform:
What We Stand For

A Union for Everybody

Our union should be open for every member to participate in—not an exclusive club for insiders. We'll make sure everyone knows how to get involved, stay informed, and that all of our union spaces are welcome to all members.

Bargaining Higher Raises, Permanent Work From Home, & More

We'll bring on rank & file members into our bargaining strategy and push the issues that matter the most: higher raises, making the work from home pilot into a permanent program, and getting respect in the workplace from managers.

Bargaining Higher Raises, Permanent Work From Home, & More

We'll bring rank & file members into our bargaining strategy and push the issues that matter the most: higher raises and making the work from home pilot into a permanent program.

Stronger Shop Stewards

Shop stewards need to be confident and empowered to champion our members on the shop floor. We need a network of shop stewards who can share knowledge and get the resources they need to effectively defend our members.

Transparency & Accountability

Financial transparency and democratic accountability starts with opening the books for members and bringing in members to participate in important decisions. Members should have access to minutes & be able to vote on key union matters.

Using PEOPLE Power to Fix Tier 6, Housing & Childcare

We can use our political action committee, PEOPLE, and the people power of rank & file members to fight to fix Tier 6 pensions, build truly affordable housing, and make childcare accessible for all.

More Accessible Meetings

It's 2024 and there's no excuse not to have a Zoom option for our union meetings. Even if they can't directly participate in-person, every member should have the ability to listen into union meetings to get the important information they need.
