CWA 1106 Tape

Wednesday, May 8, 2013

This is Inside Delegate, Eileen Flannery, speaking.

Last night, this local held a General Membership Meeting. Turnout was disappointing, but we did have a quorum, so were able to conduct a vote on the referendum vote for a dues increase. The vote was unanimously in favor of the referendum vote. This means that within the next few weeks every member of the local will receive a ballot at their home so that they can vote for or against the increase.

The Executive Board, District Stewards and Shop Stewards have been distributing informational sheets explaining the need for an increase from the 1.57% we are paying now to the 1.95% we are asking to increase to. If you have not seen this sheet, please ask your Steward for one or call the local. The sheet includes a chart showing each craft title and what the increase means to each member monetarily.

We encourage you to support our need for an increase. We have not had a dues increase in over 25 years, and, as we all know, times are changing and our numbers are dwindling. The loss of revenue and increase in expenses makes running our local very difficult. We currently pay less in dues than nearly every other local and the lowest amount allowed by our Constitution. We wish to remain an independent local, focused on our Queens members, providing the best possible service. We can’t guarantee our ability to do this with the dues structure we are currently working with.

We will notify you when the ballots are going out and when they need to be returned. Please read the sheet, talk to your union representatives and make an informed decision. If you are aware of the reality of the consequences of loss of membership we’re sure you will vote “Yes”, for the good of our local and, ultimately, your own good.

Thank you for calling Local 1106, Queens County, NY
