Days before calling for a "True lockdown" and closure of "All nonessential businesses and activities," a California labor union dispatched members to Georgia to canvass for Democratic Senate hopefuls Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
UNITE HERE Local 11-a "Progressive" hospitality union based in Los Angeles-signed a Wednesday "Lock Down Now" letter asking California officials to "Enact stay at home orders that are strict enough to truly suppress the virus by closing all nonessential businesses and activities." Just days earlier the union partnered with the New Georgia Project to send a group of members to knock on doors for Ossoff and Warnock.
The union has since touted its work to "Take back the Senate" in the Peach State, sharing videos from the ground in Atlanta.
During a November CNN appearance, the Democrat said that it would be "Malpractice" to oppose such measures if they were endorsed by "The CDC and its leadership." Ossoff's and Warnock's Republican opponents have campaigned against new coronavirus lockdowns.
UNITE HERE Local 11 is not the only California interest group that has gone to bat for Ossoff and Warnock.
The Los Angeles union is one of many out-of-state organizations campaigning with the New Georgia Project, a voter-registration nonprofit founded by Stacey Abrams.
Ossoff and Warnock will face Republican senators David Perdue and Loeffler, respectively, on Jan. 5.
