WPCLB Endorsement Process
· Once the dates/deadlines are decided, candidate questionnaires are available on our website (wpclb.org), and sent to the head of each county, town, city, village party for dissemination to candidates. Questionnaire links are also posted on social media.
· A candidate must submit the WPCLB questionnaire by the stated deadline or it is not accepted.
· Once a questionnaire is received, the candidate is scheduled for an in person interview.
· A candidate must attend their WPCLB scheduled interview to meet with the PAC Committee to be considered for an endorsement recommendation.
· The PAC Committee votes on their recommendation for endorsement of each candidate.
· Recommendations are passed on to the WPCLB Executive Board at the next monthly meeting.
· The WPCLB Executive Board discusses the PAC recommendations and any other information and then the Executive Board votes on a final recommendation to present to the delegates.
· At the delegate meeting, the delegates are presented with a list of candidate endorsement recommendations for review, discussion and vote.
· A 2/3 majority of those present and eligible to vote is required for a positive endorsement.
Please note: The WPCLB AFL CIO can only directly ENDORSE in local and judicial races. For state and congressional races, we can only RECOMMEND to the NYS AFL-CIO by following the same process above.
Disclaimer: Each individual union has their own process for endorsement. The abovementioned process is for the Westchester/Putnam Central Labor Body AFL-CIO only.
