I will continue to post bits of information and union-related news here from time to time, but for those interested in following (or maybe even contributing to) coverage of our upcoming election at Local 384, please visit the Rank-and-Filer (http://rankandfiler.org/).
The Rank-and-Filer is a collaborative effort to provide actual rank-and-file information and views on the issues we encounter in our local union. I’m helping out with it, and along with a few good members, I’m hoping it can make a difference, especially this fall, as we face a big decision about the future of our union.

This is just a heads up — we have some big decisions coming up this fall. The decisions I’m referring to are this year’s Local 384 Executive Board elections.
It’s important for each member of Local 384 to pay attention (or start paying attention) to the representation they receive. Whether you’re happy or miserable about the representation you receive, this is your clearest opportunity to directly impact the representation you receive in the future. Whether your role is as a potential candidate, helping someone you support campaign for office or just casting a vote (and believe me, that’s as important as any of the others), your participation is vital to the future of this union.
Just something to keep in mind as we all get a little closer to the fall.

Those of us in the Philadelphia and vicinity Teamsters Health and Welfare Fund recently received letters from the fund informing us that the local fund is “seriously endangered.”
This past Sunday at the general membership meeting, President Bonaduce read a letter from Local 107 President and International Vice President Bill Hamilton regarding our health and welfare fund. It was offered as a way of putting the news about our fund into perspective. In short, it spells out how we stack up against similar funds around the country, and it dispels some of the misinformation that may be out there right now. If you want to read the letter in its original form, you can download it here in PDF format.
