FALL REPORT

Let me start by thanking everyone who came out to help Mike Gatto win his race for the State Assembly, he will do us all a fine job.

I will be calling upon all our members not only to volunteer, but to get registered and get out and vote on some very important electoral races. These races will affect each and every one of us, our families and work as we know it. We need to vote for the candidate that will fight for our families and our kids education, one who is not afraid to go after large corporations that exploit their workers, and to keep our pensions secure. Please get out and register to vote and make a difference for these important races. I for one will not be bought! If you are willing to help in any way, you can contact me at the hall.

Thank you to all the members that came out to support the rally on the south steps of City Hall on August 13th. With approximately 2500 members from all different unions, we were able to get our voice out that we all want to get back to work now. Richard Trumka, President of the AFL-CIO and Mayors from cities around Los Angeles County including Mayor Villarigosa were in attendance to help support our cause to get back to work.

I am looking into holding a Be A Contractor class. In order to hold this class we will need at least twenty members that are looking to be a contractor. If you are interested, please notify me so I can start a list of potential contractors.

I would like to recognize Michael Mize with Michaels Valley Plumbing as one of our new signatory contractors; we wish him many years of good luck and success.

There are a few jobs that are starting up with possibilities of salting. If you are interested in doing this, just contact me at the hall.

We are continuing to handbill and rally in front of Whittier Presbyterian Hospital against Pacific Rim Mechanical. By Whittier Presbyterian using Pac Rim they are hurting their own community because their employees are not residents of the area and send their monies home and dont spend it here. They should be hiring good qualified mechanics from this area. The hospital hired a contractor that does not even pay the area standard, it is just wrong. If you have other options please do not use this hospital and call them to tell them why you are not using them.
