On Thursday, January 28th VP Viergutz and I met with Asst. City Atty. Bagwell, Councilman Brockus, Councilman McConnell, and Chief Duke to discuss the Amalgamation vote by our local. I disclosed the vote results and informed the sub-committee that the local was split 50-50 on the merger discussion in any fashion. The city council will discuss the issue on February 10th at a study session and vote on the issue February 17th at the regular council meeting. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments.

Today, in a monumental decision, the Supreme Court allowed corporations uninhibited access to the political process. Union members paltry political action contributions pale in comparison to the tremendous amounts of money that will be thrown into elections by corporations. Also, the profits made from our purchases will be available to contribute to influencing elections.
