Well hello there everyone, it has been a while since I have written anything here. I have been asked by the new president to continue this blog in the spirit that it was intended and that is to inform and communicate.
First let me say welcome and congratulations to the new executive, they have a lot of work ahead of them and I wish them all the luck in the world. I know that they are already working diligently among themselves and with the management team to further our agenda.
It is now time to look ahead and see what can be accomplished by this local. That is where you, the members come in to play. All though it may not appear so, the members have a large part to play in the operation of the union. So having said that, the Union needs to accommodate that role by holding regular membership meetings. The purpose of the meetings is to discuss issues and to address concerns that the members may have. General membership meetings provide the members with a venue out side of work to air their problems.
I know that meetings are in the works in the near future. As many of you know I have always said communication is key to any success, so when communication fails so will our issues. If there are members that have issues that they would like to have addressed at a membership meeting, they need to get the issue put on the agenda of the next meeting. That can be done by putting in a formal request to the secretary of the local.
In the coming weeks I will put different types of information here to help our members to understand how our union should operate .
