With our first quarterly paper, our members are seeing that our goal of educating and informing the membership is going as planned. We have had labor history classes for the local, classes on steward rights, grievance procedures, contract interpretation and basic labor law. We are offering classes in Spanish for our Latin members. I have prepared a booklet on Officers Duties, Roberts Rules of Order, Conducting a Meeting and Making Motions at a Meeting. I have appointed an interim executive board who will learn and participate in the various duties of officers. All this is being done to prepare our Membership in Democratic procedures that will enable Local 2 to have a speedy election and remove the Trusteeship. This can only be attained through the help and participation of Membership.

ATTENTION MEMBERS:

For as long as you can recall you were considered just a number at Local 2. Within the next quarter (4th), we are going to implement a system to change that practice. For information on Dues, or any other general information you will only need to give us your name. I hope this will be helpful to you in the near future.
