Have you sent us your email address?

In an effort to streamline operations union officials have begun to compile an email database of the membership. It is felt that this endeavor, along with other measures, will help to improve communication, increase participation and ultimately reduce some of the operating expenses of the local. A strong response is necessary for this undertaking to be sucessful and we hope that all who are able to participate will. Thank you.
