Greetings Members and Retirees

I apologize. It's been a while since I updated this blog due to technical problems.

I am so pleased to be at the 35th Constitutional Convention in Detroit. Know that Local 245 is well represented with a delegation that serves with your best interest at heart.

Today is Election Day. In just a short while nominations will open and your delegates will vote on new leadership for our great union.

Also know that in proceedings yesterday the resolution committee recommended equality of sacrifice to have the International elected board members to sacrifice as our membership have. The delegates approved that International Executive Board (IEB) members will not get a raise or C.O.L.A. in the next 4 years. Their pay will remain the same until the next convention 4 years from now.

I wish to thank Ed Huddleston and Brian Brown for their great work this week at the convention to provide you breaking news and pictures.

I thank all of the delegates and guests who are at the convention on behalf of our local. Thanks also to both the active and retired membership for their continued support.
