Mark your calendars!!!

   Is organized labor  going to survive in this country or in the State of NH? Will there ever be a middle class in this country or in the State of NH? Will we, as a blue collar workforce, be able to continue to make a decent wage with health and retirement benefits for the remainder of our careers and beyond? Make no mistake about it, these
questions are seriously headed toward one answer, NO!

There can be no arguing the fact that the decline of organized labor over the last thirty years has been in lock step with the decline of the middle class.

As we enter into 2012, we as an organization, are going to have many challenges and I am going to ask all of you for help to meet these challenges head on, it is time that all of us look at what is important to our local union and how each and every one of us can contribute in some way to make us a stronger UNION.

At the July 28, 2011 Executive Board meeting, it was decided that Joey Ientile will be appointed Vice President and Tom Connor will be appointed to the E-Board zone "A". Tom Connor will be submitting a letter of resignation to the president thus vacating a position on the Examining Board. It was further decided by the Executive Board that Albert Tansey will fill the vacant spot on the Examining Board.
