Hello sisters and brothers it’s always a pleasure to serve you and speak with you. This site is to provide communication for you the membership.
The best way to keep our members informed is through newsletters or a website. But to stop informing and educating our members is foolish. You pay dues and have a right to know what’s going on; we need to remind each other that we are in this together. Members are the life line of the union and the union strength depends on the loyalty of its members. Read more...
