Great turnout tonight for the nomination and election of delegates to the General Convention.  

Had a great turnout last night for a mixer and open house dinner last night. Non-members were able to tour the training center and meet with members to learn what we’re really about. Everyone enjoyed a chicken dinner and a raffle where a lot of great tools were given away. Organize or die. Let’s win the work!

I hope everyone had a good weekend and a fun, safe Halloween. As we head back into the work week, I want to remind you that Tuesday is Election Day. If you haven’t already, please take the time to go vote. Just like our Union, participation is what makes it strong and what makes it work for you.
