The Union and Company committees met this afternoon to discuss the issues that prevented contract ratification.
While an agreement has still not been reached, both committees will continue to be ?on-call? in hopes of coming to an agreement.
As you know, we rolled out our District 6 Organizing Initiative in January during the District 6 Conference in El Paso. Since that time, many Locals have been working to make face-to-face contacts with non-members. Some Locals have engaged in external organizing efforts as well. I have periodically provided updates on some of the successes that Locals have achieved. Below are a few of the highlights and notable efforts from the past five weeks. Please note that, while the number of new members for some Locals listed below may not appear to be large, they are included here because they represent a significant percentage of the Local?s non-members. Additionally, this is not a complete and comprehensive list of all organizing activities throughout the District.
