Working Families Alliance is aligned with labor unions like the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME),\u00a0 the Communications Workers of America (CWA), and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), as well as left-wing advocacy groups like Sierra Club, Garden State Equality, and BlueWaveNJ.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><i>The Working Families Alliance endorses left-wing political candidates, advocates for left-wing economic and social policies, and has taken a proactive part in the \u201cResistance\u201d movement opposed to the Trump administration.<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">So they are not representative of the working people of New Jersey, just those who are working for the state, city or counties of this state.

That&#8217;s what!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">I really do not understand the mindset of such selfish organizations. This state needs to outlaw public unions and their members from lobbying and prevent them from being a political force to influence public policy and the voting public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Here is the crap that they have on their <a href=\"https:\/\/workingfamilies.org\/states\/new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>, \u201c<i>New Jersey Working Families is a grassroots independent political organization fighting for a government that represents the needs and values of working families. We elect candidates who share our values and organize campaigns to advance progressive policies.
