KEY BLOCK----- Just want to mention, the UFCW is a really close hold. Just for planning with schedule. Sent from my iPhone On Dec 19, 2015, at 6:36 PM, Nikki Budzinski <[email protected]> wrote: Good evening- I sent this email to a broader group this evening since there are many updates that I know touch different people. Please let me know if you have any questions. I have shared a tracking spreadsheet with many of you on this email thread. If you don't have it, but would like me to share it, let me know. I will track in this spreadsheet the member to member work in states that unions have been willing to share. This is not exhaustive, but should be a helpful snapshot of where things are moving. I will continue to keep this updated. -I am going to be prioritizing outreach to the building trades unions to push them on member program, building out hardhats events, outstate buses and staff deployment in state. In Iowa, I am building a GP surrogate program to engage trades members with the IA campaign. -*New Hampshire: *Monday weekly at 9am-NH Labor Call starting Monday, December 21st, 2015. Invited: National Political Directors, MA labor leaders and NH labor leaders. Each call with be joined by NH Political Director Kari Thurman and Mayor Walsh's campaign manager Megan Costello. Kari will be outlining specific asks and goals on each call. -*Iowa:* We are planning twice a week Iowa labor calls with National Political Directors and IA labor leaders and the IA team starting on Monday, January 11th at 1:30pm. Monday calls will outline specific weekly goals and Thursday calls will report out on sign ups for weekend of action. Before January 11th we will continue weekly check in calls through the holidays. -*Nevada:* January 7th National Political Directors (confirmed today Monroe, LIUNA) come to Las Vegas to join labor meeting with in state building trades leaders and Nevada team, walk thru specific asks and needs. I will be doing individual follow up with Carpenters, NEA and AFSCME and Team Nevada this day. *Immediate Needs for Direction:* 1. UFCW Endorsement-We are on track to receive the UFCW/RWDSU endorsement on January 11th. They will do this by phone from Des Moines, IA. They are requesting that HRC, post Black Brown debate, stop by a UFCW/RWDSU rally to thank them for the endorsement in Des Moines. Prior to the debate, we can release joint statements announcing the endorsement. I have spoken with Team Iowa about this and they are on board with a post-debate stop by. I would like to lock this in and then they can start planning. Is this possible? 2. ATU-Would HRC participate in a public transit forum in Iowa with ATU members? The goal with ATU is to keep them neutral. Neutral has value with the AFL-CIO endorsement. They are asking if HRC would be willing to participate in the forum in Iowa on January 16th. I do not know if this is possible with the IA team. And if not, I would like to revisit releasing her teletown hall remarks with ATU members which was very good but because of a slight-over statement on privatization release was shut down. I'd like to revisit this as a way for us to offer something to ATU if the forum will not work out. 3. Call Sheets: 4 calls total broken down below=2 new endorsements -2 calls OPEIU-Former President Mike Goodwin and New President Lanigan (I believe they will endorse after) -1 call IAM-Congratulate New Machinists President Bob Martinez -1 call IBEW Local 3-There will be three leaders on one call, HRC provides a brief hello and ask for their endorsement. They will endorse. See note below. 4. IATSE (83,000 members + ability to move Nevada program)-They would really like to endorse but they would also really like us to sign a MOU with their union to use their members for events. We are using IATSE for our events today, just without the MOU. I have spoken with Vice Chair a few times about this and have gotten concessions from IATSE...specifically that a MOU wouldn't go into effect until April 1st, post early state/March primaries. They will also adjust required hotel accommodations from 60 miles to 90 miles of travel, making it a very unlikely cost to incur. IATSE has also flagged for me that vendors often do their own mark up of labor which a MOU would definitely head off. It would add some additional work for Advance/Vice Chair office to facility. Obama signed this agreement in 2012. I'm hopeful we can sign for April 1st. Notes: 1. Labor has added a additional 39 leadership names to Leadership Councils in the following states since December 9th: AZ, AR, LA, MS, NE, NC, OH, AK, HI, ID, IL, UT and WA. We continue to reach out and build. Thank you to my intern Peter Berg for his help. 2. I assisted the Massachusetts team with labor build for the NH planning meeting on Friday, December 18th. The meeting was well attended and led to setting up NH labor calls on Mondays at 9am with Walsh Team, NH team and National/State labor. 3. MOU-I have noted in the spreadsheet the unions that are supporting a coordinated labor effort. This is important and something as a campaign we should continue to strongly encourage. When up and running it will be a shared data set of union membership lists for coordinated canvass and phone program. They are 75% of the way there but need to finalize a few remaining pieces, most notably where the data will be housed. In 2008, it was AFL-CIO LAN but with the NEA it is likely going to be AV VAN. 4. Hillary Victory Fund-Labor has committed and is sending $865K toward HVF in 2015. There are a few additional outstanding requests (noted in the spreadsheet) that should take us over $1 million. I will make follow up calls on Monday. 3. Data Swap-AFSCME is anxious to execute the data swap with us effective Jan.4th. I'm working with Simon Vance on executing this. NEA is on hold until NGPVAN provides additional information. We are hopeful this will be resolved soon. The swap is with four early states now and will expand to CO and MN next. 4. NEA hosting a Early States/March states member message training in Washington DC from Jan. 22nd-24th with 5 NEA members from each of the following states to be trained spokespeople/supporters of HRC. States participating: CO, MN, VA, KS, FL, SC, AR, GA, TX, LA, MS, MI, MO, NC, OH. They have asked us to join for this training and I am working with paid media. 5. January 12th-We are hosting a General President message meeting with the campaign. John Podesta is hosting with the paid media team. We will be inviting National Political Directors as well in Washington DC from 9am-11am. 6. I will be sending separately a list of 2016 Union Conventions that many endorsed unions are setting as priorities since we missed conventions in 2015. I just want to start flagging now and will send a comprehensive list very soon. 7. AFL-CIO Endorsement Numbers and Update: Based on per capita and the real AFL-CIO vote, which we need 2/3 or *6.2 million* members of the 9.3 million AFL-CIO members. AFL-CIO Executive Council meetings February 21-22nd, which seems to be remain the most likely timeframe for HRC endorsement. *Today HFA has 4.1 million (44%) * Today Sanders has 831,908 (9%) Including UFCW, IATSE, OPEIU, SMART, Seafarers, MEBA, TWU=1,548,981 (New HFA AFL-CIO Total *5.6 million*) In order to cross 6.2 million I think the most possible outreach is UAW (400K) plus the Letter Carriers (181K). - UFCW/RWDSU (1,030,981 members + Iowa field support + NY phone space + NH buses)-If we can confirm HRC to do a endorsement event in Iowa with President Marc Perrone and Stuart Appelbaum, they will endorse via EBoard phone vote on January 11th. I've spoken with Matt Paul and he is supportive of the idea. In addition, they would like help with delegates (I have spoken with David), reconnect with policy (I can facilitate) and HRC town hall with members before March in a March primary state (perhaps in Colorado on immigration, where UFCW is very big). - OPEIU (102,401 members + deployed people for HRC in 2008)-The wanted to endorse on December 14th in Midtown but HRC schedule couldn't permit. Two phone calls, 1. Outgoing President Michael Goodwin and 2. Incoming new President Rich Lanigan, would very likely just get the endorsement done. Goodwin retired at the 12/14 meeting, which was why the push then. - IBEW Local 3 (10,000 members across NY + buses to NY + NY phone bankers)-I am working with the big New York IBEW Local union to make a independent endorsement form their Intl soon. The Intl is allowing local unions to endorse this year (crazy but true). Its important that we get a IBEW Local union endorsement on the board because Sanders has been collecting small ones in the NE, approximately 8 local IBEW unions. IBEW Local 3 is very open to endorsing, they would just need one call with their three top leaders on the phone with HRC, she'd ask for their support, and they'll do it. - Other unions to come on board, before February 1st I estimate: Seafarers, MEBA, SMART, TWU (total members=333,000 members) - ATU-We need to keep them neutral. After CWA's endorsement, ATU would be the next to go to Sanders. I've been dragging my feet and their requests slow walking but we're at a point where we need to decide engagement. I don't want to lose them to Sanders but I think it creates more distension within the AFL-CIO, which is not helpful if we want to put this to bed. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. -- Nikki Budzinski Labor Outreach Director Hillary for America 646-854-1442 (direct)
