President’s
Message:This year we are focusing on
building our army of Shop Stewards in our Local. We just completed a
two day Shop Steward Class in April. We now have 8 additional new
Shop Stewards that completed the class. We are now conducting
classes at the Business Center at the Charlotte Douglas Airport.
These classes last 2 days and the Union will pay for any lost wages
to attend. If you know anyone interested in attending a Shop Steward
Class in the near future, just have them contact the Local at
877--665-9940 and let us know. We will begin working on another
class in the next couple of months. At this time, I am proud to
announce, we have Shop Stewards at every station.
I will be attending the CWA 2010 National Convention in June. It
will be in Washington, DC this year. Hopefully, I will have some
interesting things to report after the Convention. Also, the
Legislative Conference will also be held after the National
Convention. We hope to be able to send two of our E-Board Members to
attend that Conference. If you have any issues that need to be
addressed at either of these upcoming events, please do not hesitate
to contact us.
In Solidarity,
Janice Garris President
