will help to create a better sense of community among our members.
It is, and will remain, a "Living Document".

The Adirondack Chapter
of the
Labor-Religion Coalition
. . . is now meeting on the third Wednesday of every month,
at 7:00 PM, at the First Baptist Church of Glens
Falls (100 Maple St.). The Coalition
decided to move the meetings to a space with more room, and schedule them
at a "fixed" day and week each month so we can add them to our schedules
and calendars 'way ahread of time.
At our Meetings we will be working on projects started
previously, including some Community and Labor promotions.
This Month's meeting is on June 17th, and the third Wednesday of July is
on the 15th this year. Everyone is invited and encouraged to
attend.

Don't forget to reserve the date for our June
11th, 2009 Meeting
on Thursday, June 11th, 2009, at the usual
time of 7:00 PM, for our Meeting.
Our Meetings are currently at the Plumbers' and Pipefitters' Local Union
773 Hall at 30 Bluebird Road, South Glens Falls - in Moreau, but
continue to check the Directions
page for new maps and more info on our
future meeting places.
Our Meetings concentrate on our own local
area plans as well as the wider "Up-State"
plans from CDALF.,
and the State-wide activities of our NYS AFL-CIO
We will be considering how best to support and encourage Labor-friendly
government in the future - locally, state-wide, and nationally.
We coordinate with and help - and are helped by - other pro-Labor
organizations such as the Solidarity Committee,
and the Labor-Religion Coalition.
Come talk with other Unions' Delegates who have already been there.
Labor still has a lot of non-union workplaces to Organize -- and a lot
of workers who would
like to be Unionized, but are afraid
of losing their jobs if they try to exercise their rights.
All Union Locals can and should have full
representation in Labor Councils regardless of other affiliation, so if
you have any questions, come and ask.
Do plan to attend our Meetings and forums, and since we welcome extra visitors
to our Meetings from Labor even if they are not voting Delegates, please
feel
free to bring along some of your other Members as well. |
