Hayward Demos Annual Potluck
Mr. Chris Stampolis, Director of Government Relations for the Laborers International Union Hayward Local 304 and DNC representative, delivered the keynote address at the Hayward Demos annual potluck on Jan. 8th. Mr Stampolis spoke about the importance of progressives remaining energized and getting locally involved one year after the historic election of President Obama. Progressvies should feel encouraged by the many changes the Obama administation has spearheaded including the Democratic drive to reform national health care.
Chris described one way local clubs can be involved locally is to insure that state prevailing wage laws are being followed by the various local government agencies which are responsible for selecting contractors for various public projects. The Hayward Demos has taken the challenge by forming a Prevailing Wage Task Force to monitor local government contracts.
