RECORDING SECRETARY
Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
           

The General Election had an outstanding turnout, with nearly 2,000 votes cast.  Thank you to everyone who came out to vote and support the elections; and I really appreciate you selecting me as your recording secretary again.  Thank you!!!  Congratulations to all the newly elected officers.
           

Welcome to all new transfers, if there is anything that I can help you with, call the union hall and leave me a message.
           

The Union Hall will be accepting Resolutions for the 2011 Local Agreement.  – deadline is July 1, 2011.  Turn in the completed forms to the Work Center or the Union Hall.
KEY ISSUES IN BARGAINING
1.  Win jobs to create real job security.
2.  Improve our standard of living.
3.  Win justice for new hires, temporary and contingent workers.
4.  Advance the right to organize and bargain.
5.  Defeat attacks on public sector employees.
6.  Provide health care and retirement security.
7.  Make our workplaces safer.
8.  Advance our social vision.
           

UAW members and all union Brothers and Sisters will face enormous challenges with the National and Local contracts.  When submitting a resolution, remember the focus is on the interests and needs of the entire union.
“TOGETHER, WE’LL SET THE AGENDA FOR MOVING FORWARD.”
            The first two weeks in July will be down weeks, your vacation will be charged 72 hours (for most of us).  Enjoy your time off.  Have a good and safe holiday. 

Solidarity 4-Ever
