From the President

This week, unions from across the country are attending the AFL-CIO's Convention. President John Sweeney will step down. If you've ever wondered how strong the labor movement really is in this country, or have questioned or doubted what it really means to be union, click here to view what America's labor movement in action looks like. Become reinspired. Thank you President Sweeney, for calling out the corporate greed that has nearly destroyed our country,our mortgage markets, and nearly our economy - for calling out the enrons and the exxons that have exported our jobs- for fighting with us to increase the minimum wage and much more. It is because of your leadership and commitment to the working women and men of our country that the we are on the path to a newly re-energized, recommitted labor movement. Christine Trujillo, President |

It’s been one (1) year since our last state convention. A lot has happened in that time. Much of what happened is good. On the other hand, those things that happened, which a pessimist might see as negative, I see as challenges. Challenges which present us with the opportunity to continue our organizing. |
