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.
