Saturday's Labor Walk

To All Council Affiliates and Fellow Unions Members,

The election is fast approaching and it is very clear to see that the anti- labor / pro- business community has its support out in this election. What will make the difference in this campaign is our members out knocking fellow labor members doors and reminding them to get out and support our candidate by voting. We are still planning on staging out of the IBEW Local 13 Hall on North Central Ave from 10 am to 1 pm. With a good turnout we should be able to run through our walk lists in no time.  Our hope is to get everyone there a little early so we can do a very brief training and then head out to hit the doors. We will have everyone back by 1pm for pizza and a short rally with Senator Hatch.

If each local offers up a few volunteers this should be a very easy task with each local covering about 30 households.

Currently we have the following committed:

UAW- Tom and Nancy Courtney

I.U.O.E.- Ryan Drew

                 Parrish Blow

                 Dillon Long

           

Ironworkers- 34 members (Apprenticeship class)

Please let me know if you can provide some volunteers from your local so we can plan accordingly, and thank you for your help

Fraternally,

               

Ryan Drew

Mandatory Reporter re-certification

Hi all members,

I'm looking to schedule a night to show the Mandatory Reporter video. Participants will view a three hour video, fill in a survey and receive their certificate that night.

I'm looking at the following three dates: Oct. 23, Oct. 30 or Nov. 13 to host the video viewing at Edward Stone Middle School starting around 4 p.m.

I'm trying to avoid conference nights and various scheduled events.

Please email your preference if you need to renew your Mandatory Reporter certificate.

I will try to schedule night(s) again next spring. This is a member benefits. Non - members will be charged $25.

Thanks,

Donna
