COPE contributions will be deducted bi-weekly from your paycheck.  You can contribute as much or as little as you would like.  A $1/week contribution can make a big difference.  COPE funds are distributed by the IBEW 1106 COPE committee and the International.  Donations to local political campaigns are common and COPE members are encouraged to recommend donations to the labor- friendly candidates of their choosing.

COPE’s funds come from the voluntary contributions of AFL-CIO members and their friends. The Taft-Hartley Act forbids using one penny of union funds to help elect a Candidate.

COPE is NOT a political party. The resolution of political action passed unanimously by the First AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention states: "We reaffirm organized labor’s traditional policy of avoiding entangling alliances with any other group and of supporting worthy candidates regardless of party affiliation."
