LOCAL 372 COMMITTEES

Local 372 has five committees, the Political Action Committee, the Women’s Committee, the Consumer Advocate Committee, the Cultural Committee, and the Housing Committee.  These committees were formed because members wanted to have an impact on these issue and educated themselves about new issues that arise within these areas.

Political Action

“Political action is vital to your lifestyle and livelihood,” says Pamela J. Armstrong, the chairperson of Local 372’s Political Action Committee. “Your job depends on it. Our elected officials introduce legislation that influences our jobs and communities. Politicians have power. If we don’t hold them accountable, then they can do whatever they want to do. We pay taxes and we vote. We have to make sure they work for us. This committee is vital. Members learn about issues and become empowered as activists. Our members are wonderful. We’re active. We’re going make politicians accountable. I encourage members to join!”
