Getting the union members involved in Union activities and keeping them engaged is one of the most difficult things the Union officers have to do. And it's one of the most important.
Union meetings of any kind, whether at a quarterly General membership meeting or a contract meeting are an important way of maintaining two-way communication with the members. These meetings educate our members and replaces rumors with fact while more importantly, it helps our members be part of the solution. The Union's success at the bargaining table is directly proportionate to the active support of the Union members for the issues being negotiated. We all want everything to change and we want everything to stay the same. But I can't stress enough, nothing can change and nothing can stay the same when the Union is doing it alone. If there's anything we have to remember it's that we all must know that power and understand the power that we have as organized labor. Your support and participation are greatly needed.
If you are not an active involved member, then you cannot expect to attain those things you want and need.
Azaveous Oliver - President
