The Austin Central Labor Council (CLC) is comprised of the leadership of over 28 local trade unions in Austin. Earlier in this campaign cycle, the Council held a forum during which many of the over 70 candidates running in Austin's new 10-1 City Council districts were able to answer questions and explain their stance on labor related issues, and their plans for the city. Below are the candidates that the CLC has endorsed.

Mayor: Mike Martinez

District 1: Ora Houston

District 2: Delia Garza

Today’s teachers face an adverse political climate bent on undermining their professional status and blaming them for multiple ills while working to reduce their job security and retirement benefits.  Are these reasons to stay away from this field or do they make becoming a teacher an even more urgent and compelling decision?  Please join our conversation as we investigate the many challenges facing teachers and work to shape meaningful responses to our topic question.

Recess!  Not Adjourn 

At the close of the legislative session on April 22, the House and Senate recessed in order to come back in the fall to do redistricting.  They are also planning to return May 10^th to make technical corrections.  Sadly, as the Governor signed the hateful SB 251 into law, I guess we don’t have to worry legislators will use May 10 to override his veto for which so many of us had asked. 

They have until mid-November to come back to do redistricting.  Action you can take is to continue to contact your representatives and senators to ask them to use an independent, non-partisan body to draw those lines.  Left in the control of the supermajority, look for supermajority in ALL CAPS. 

Several local Austin leaders met this past Wednesday, October 29 to express outrage over out-of-state monies pouring in to the AISD Board of Trustees District 1 race. Candidate David "D" Thompson has received thousands of dollars in campaign support from some unsettling, anti-teacher sources. This support comes from organizations and individuals that both support and own corporate charter school chains, and that are actively fighting things like due process for teachers.
