School Repair & Student Safety Measure WHAT AN ENDORSEMENT MEANS: IBEW 569 representatives (usually delegates, executive board members, and appointed representatives) have participated at the local level through the San Diego County Building & Construction Trades Council and/or the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council endorsement processes as well as at the state level through the California State Building Trades Council and/or the California Labor Federation. These processes include research on candidates and ballot measures, interviews of candidates and issues advocates, and votes by delegate and executive board bodies to determine whether a candidate or ballot measure should receive a labor endorsement. Candidates must demonstrate with their past voting histories (if an incumbent or former elected official) and/or by answering detailed questionnaires that they support the values and work of IBEW 569, labor unions and our members. If there is a race or issue that is not on this card, but is on your ballot, it means candidates or advocates for the issue did not seek or receive an endorsement from the San Diego Building Trades Council and/or the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council.
