      Don't forget to reserve the date for our June 12th, 2008 Meeting on Thursday, June 12th, 2008, at the usual time of 7:00 PM, at the Plumbers' and Pipefitters' Local Union 773 Hall at  30 Bluebird Road, South Glens Falls - in Moreau, but continue to check the Directions page for new maps and more info on  our future meeting places.

      The Presentation on Area Organizing that we have been trying to get rescheduled is still on hold while the Organizers from CSEA who were visiting to present information regarding campaigns in our area are back out in the field working, but we will be having our regular agenda, whiich includes reports on our newest C.O.P.E. plans as well.  We will be considering how best to support Labor-friendly government in the future. 

      News Channel 13's Union Contract has been ratified, and other Union's are being negotiated, and Labor still has a lot of non-union workplaces to Organize -- and a lot of workers who would like to be Unionized, but are afraid of losing their jobs if they try to exercise their rights. 

      All Union Locals can and should have full representation in Labor Councils regardless of other affiliation, so if you have any questions, come and ask. 

      Do plan to attend our Meetings and forums, and since we welcome extra visitors to our Meetings from Labor even if they are not voting Delegates, please feel free to bring along some of your other Members as well.
