On March 3, the first Change to Win Northwest Organizing Workshop was held at
SEIU Local 503. The Change to Win Coalition consists of the UBC, SEIU, UFCW,
Laborers, United Farm Workers, Teamsters, and UNITE HERE. The purpose of this
workshop was to bring all parties together to see how we can help each other in
our ongoing labor struggle. There were over 100 people in attendance, which
included 11 Carpenters. Speakers from the member locals spoke on their area
campaigns, and videos were shown of labor struggles from around the country. We
ended the day with a rally to promote the Employee Free Choice Act in front of
the Wal-Mart on Southeast 82nd Avenue.
Financial Secretary & Delegate Fellow Members, we are looking for members to
volunteer their time and skills for one day! On Saturday, April 28 2007, we will
be assisting individuals in our community with various home repairs through
Rebuilding Together with Christmas in April. Rebuilding Together with Christmas
in April is the leading local volunteer organization that, in partnership with
the community, rehabilitates the homes of low-income homeowners, particularly
the elderly, disabled, and families with children so that they can continue to
live in warmth, safety, and independence.
If you are interested, please contact the office and Dawn or Sherrie will be
happy to sign you up and send you the information to complete. Thanks so much
for your help!
We need your help, so please volunteer. Mark your calendars for April 28!
Please note: This is an opportunity for everyone. Even if you know someone
who don’t have any construction skills, there is cleaning and landscaping and
lots of other miscellaneous tasks to be completed. Please bring the family.
Anyone can help!
