A New Engineers PAC

There’s a new political action committee on the block. And it’s being formed by an engineers union. MIRS-News reports that Michigan’s Operating Engineers is creating a SuperPAC in 2014, with the goal of pushing for increased funding for transportation projects. The labor union says it takes a more “policy” over “party” approach, according to union organizing director Ryan Dunn, which formalizes recent efforts by the Engineers to give directly to candidates instead of the Michigan Democratic Party or a labor union coalition.
