SHOP STEWARDS SEMINAR CANCELLED FOR 2020Based upon the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Shop Stewards Seminar originally scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, 2020 has been cancelled. Any attempts to hold a Seminar of this magnitude at the Local 464A Union Auditorium would not only be a violation of State law and CDC Guidelines, but would also not be in the best interest of the safety and welfare of our outstanding Shop Stewards. We are hopeful that we will once again be able to schedule this most important training seminar for our Stewards next year. |

As we know, our contract demands and selection of those to serve on the Contract Committee were all conducted at store level to avoid hundreds of people congregating at the Union Hall. The demands have been tentatively formulated and will be reviewed by the Contract Committee, which was selected by the Executive Board Members working for that particular Company participating in negotiations. |
LOOKING AT THE UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION THROUGH THE EYES OF A UNION PRESIDENTOne thing we can all be sure of is that neither President Donald Trump nor Vice President Joe Biden will take full responsibility for supporting you and your family – that’s our obligation. So then what are the things that matter about the candidate we support from a Union point of view, based upon economics and a better lifestyle? First, no one likes to be told which candidate they must vote for, and this article will not do that. Second, we also will not deal with personalities and will not insult the integrity of either candidate. |
