New Leadership and Hope
Print this article
In the first couple weeks since they took office, our three new executive board members have made several appearances at the UPS Willow Grove hub. People have been expressing an optimism about the future of our Union and the prospect of new representation, but I’d like to remind all of our members that we are the Union.
Now is not the time to sit back and wait for someone else to bail us out of the way we’ve been treated by management. Better representation starts with us, not just the Business Agents and Stewards, but with each and every member. Get involved and learn more about how to stand up for your own rights. That’s the best way to make sure you’re being represented properly.
In a week we’ll all have a great opportunity to get involved, when we meet for our first general membership meeting of 2008. All members should come out to the Union Hall on Sunday, January 20. The meeting begins at 10:30 am.
New representation holds promise for all of us, but an overflowing Union Hall next Sunday would be an even more promising sign.
