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.
