 President’s
Message:Once again, we are coming upon
the Holiday Season. I am hoping that each and everyone has a
Wonderful Holiday.
On October 3-6, I was fortunate to be able to attend the 2009 CWA
District 3 Meeting in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This was the
first District 3 meeting held by our new Vice President, Judith R.
Dennis. I was extremely delighted to see that Judy made numerous
attempts to recognize the Airline Division of CWA as well as some of
the smaller groups attending. This made me feel extremely welcome
and let me know that she wants to work with all sectors of District
3. At the end of our meeting we were given a Feedback Form from Judy
so that we could provide her with information concerning ways that
she can improve District 3 Meetings. This was something new, but
extremely appreciated. I believe that information gathered from this
Feedback form will be very effective in the planning of future
meetings.
The main topics of this meeting were ways CWA can help fix our
broken health care system and our efforts to help pass the Employee
Free Choice Act. We also attended workshops on “Arbitration
Preparation”, T.E.A.M. Aligning for Success and “It Starts with
You”.
This was a very informative Meeting and I only wish each and every
one of you had to opportunity to attend and see the exciting things
that our Union is involved in.
In Solidarity,
Janice Garris President
