Catch Your Union Brother Adam Rule on the Brotherhood Outdoors Season Premiere!

Campaign for a Secure Future Updates

Improve Public Participation at San Jose City Hall!

In recent months, many UA 393 members have participated in virtual meetings with elected officials to advocate for good union jobs and protect our work. It can be challenging for the public to engage in these important discussions, and changes are needed to improve the virtual meeting experience.

Please send an email to city.clerk@sanjoseca.gov requesting support for the proposal by San Jose Councilmember Raul Peralez to improve the public engagement process. The deadline to submit your email is Wednesday, June 24 at 12pm.

Here’s a sample message:

Subject: Agenda Item #7

Dear San Jose Rules Committee:

Please support the memo from Councilmember Peralez. I want my voice heard at City Hall and these improvements will make it easier to participate in the public process.

Thanks for your support.
