It is election time at the union hall. History dictates that since it is a presidential election cycle we will experience higher than usual ballot returns. Everyone who is going to vote does so during this cycle.  If you’re me and you’ve been asking for member participation non-stop for years this is as good as it gets. There is a quiet comfort in democracy.

I’m a big believer in the democratic process. So, when asked about the election I have the same answer for everyone, “When it is all said and done, I have no doubt that the membership of Local 341 will absolutely get the leadership we deserve.” I think that (leadership) should be a continuation of my service to our members. Time will tell.
