An economy with more jobs, better jobs and better lives for all workers in the region - union and non-union - is vital for the long-term health of San Diego. Our livelihoods depend on having a City Council that makes economic health and justice top priorities for the city. We introduce the Working Families Report Card to ensure that all San Diegans know how their City Council is representing them. It examines votes since the current council took office after the 2010 election, highlighting votes that were particularly important for San Diego's working families. Our City is strongest when all workers are empowered, and the Report Card provides a tool to help people be better informed voters and more effective advocates for their communities.
