COPE
http://seiupa.org/get-involved/cope
The Committee on Political Education, or COPE, is the union’s voluntary political action fund that is used for our political activities. Why not union dues? By law, your union cannot use your union dues for political purposes. Where does the money go? Does SEIU just give to Democrats? Our priority is to support pro-SEIU, pro-worker candidates and their issues no matter what party they are from. Who can contribute to COPE? Federal law limits COPE contributions to working and retired SEIU members.
