OCEA Governmental Affairs Update: March 21, 2022
March 21, 2022
We are often told that we should never talk about three things in polite company: religion, money, or politics. Union people discuss money all the time because OCEA members and staff never stop advocating for working families’ economic security. We don’t discuss religion because that’s not our role and we respect each individual’s religious freedom. However, for unions, discussing politics is essential and unavoidable. As the Greek statesman Pericles said, “Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.”
