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.
