OPEN ENDORSEMENT: An “OPEN ENDORSEMENT” means that the Union has no recommendation for the race and members are free to vote for any candidate. However, ILWU officers and stewards should not publicly support any candidate, as that can be seen to mean support by the Union.
NO ENDORSEMENT: A “NO ENDORSEMENT” means members are urged NOT to support or vote for any of the candidates in that race.
