WHAT IS V-CAP
WHAT IS V-CAP?
V-CAP is the UAW’s political action fund made up of voluntary contributions
from UAW members, retirees and their families. The money is used to support
pro-worker political candidates who have earned the endorsement of the UAW
Community Action Program (CAP).
WHY SHOULD I GIVE TO CAP?
From taxes and trade policy to retirement security and health care to education
and infrastructure – politics affects our daily lives. That’s why it’s
essential for working families to make our voices heard in local, state and
national politics by supporting candidates who support us. One of the most
effective ways to do that is by contributing to V-CAP.
WHY DO WE NEED UAW V-CAP? I THOUGHT THE UAW USED DUES MONEY FOR CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS?
That’s a common misunderstanding. The fact is federal and many state election
laws prohibit unions from contributing members’ dues money to political
candidates. The only money that can be used for contributions to candidates is
money members voluntarily contribute to UAW V-CAP.
HOW DOES UAW CAP DECIDE WHICH CANDIDATES TO SUPPORT?
Candidates are interviewed by a screening committee of CAP activists. The
screening committee makes its recommendations based on its evaluation of the
candidates voting records and/or positions on trade, education, Medicare,
retirement security, right-to-work laws, worker’s compensation, unemployment
insurance and other issues that directly affect UAW members and our families.
DOES THE UAW ENDORSE ONLY DEMOCRATS?
No. Endorsements are based on the candidate’s record and positions on issues,
not only on party. Over the years, UAW CAP has endorsed pro-working family
Independents and Republicans as well as Democrats.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I CONTRIBUTE TO UAW V-CAP?
That’s entirely up to you. Many contributors to UAW V-CAP give $10.00 each
month. That works out to less than 33 cents a day. Of course, you can choose to
contribute more or less, depending on your circumstances.
HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE TO UAW V-CAP?
The UAW has negotiated a checkoff provision with General Motors, Ford, Chrysler
and a number of other employers. To participate in checkoff, simply complete and
sign a UAW V-CAP checkoff card. This card authorizes your employer to deduct the
amount of money that you specify from your paycheck, and your contribution is
automatically sent to UAW V-CAP. Checkoff cards for UAW V-CAP are available from
your local union CAP representative.
OUR V-CAP DOLLARS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
In order to protect the gains UAW members and the labor movement have made over
the decades, we need to help elect politicians who support our issues and share
our values. If we all contribute a modest amount each month to UAW V-CAP, we can
ensure that the interests of working families are represented and our voices
heard.
“V” MEANS VOLUNTARY
Always remember that both checkoff authorization and the amount to be deducted
are purely voluntary. No UAW member can or should be compelled to contribute to
the UAW V-CAP fund. A member can cancel his or her authorization by written
request at any time. The keys to increasing participation in V-CAP and our other
political action efforts are political education and communication, not
high-pressure tactics. UAW V-CAP is an independent political committee created
by the UAW. This committee does not ask for or accept authorization from any
candidate and no candidate is responsible for its activities. UAW V-CAP uses the
money it receives to make political contributions and expenditures in connection
with federal, state and local elections. Contributions to UAW V-CAP are purely
voluntary and are without fear of reprisal. All UAW members may be eligible for
V-CAP raffle drawings, regardless of whether they make a contribution to UAW
V-CAP. Monies contributed to UAW V-CAP constitute a voluntary contribution to a
joint fund-raising effort by the UAW and AFL-CIO.
