What is IUJATPAC?

IUJATPAC is a nonpartisan, voluntary Committee on Political Education (COPE) fund. We have created this fund to advocate for our members at the local level.

IUJATPAC has two primary goals:

  • Advocacy
  • Mobilization

In order to successfully advocate for the protection of your benefits, raise your wages, and fight for job security, safety, and wage protections that affect your employment, we rely on support from members like you.

We’re committed to full transparency with our COPE fund, and it’s our aim to incorporate your valuable feedback into our COPE program.

Why participate?

Workers face frightening changes on the local level that we need to get in front of. Anti-worker special interest groups are more aggressive and better funded than ever. As a result, terms of employment that should be negotiated at the bargaining table are now being decided in the governing halls of Trenton, NJ and Albany, NY.

Example: Chapter 78, passed in New Jersey, took away the right of public sector members to bargain the cost of medical contributions and mandated that employees pay a percentage. No choice, no negotiation.

We Can fight back

Together, we will hold our politicians accountable and stand up to protect what you have earned.

Who will step up to defend you?

IUJATPAC is proudly bi-partisan and will only use our resources to support the pro-worker causes and politicians that support and protect you.

We have strong working relationships with influential politicians—both Republican and Democrat—on the state and local level, who will stand up for working people’s issues.
