Welcome to the Graphic Communications International Union Local 255-C web page. I hope you find its content both imformative and interesting. It is being developed by our members Bill Pierce and Doug Brinkman. I use the term "being developed" because it is a work in progress, and any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.
The prospects for this endeavor are limitless. First and foremost, though, is its goal to imform and educate our membership on what's happening within our Local Union. Such things as Meeting dates, Special Events, Grievances, to name a few will be standard issue. We would also like to include a section " Icon " dealing with questions by members, where by a member could pose a question with regards to their Collective Agreement, or any other concern they may have, and it would be answered on the page. Some of the other things we have considered, Editorial sections, Letters to the Executive, again the sky is the limit.
In this fast paced world in which we live , with commitments to our families, the crazy shifts our employers have us work, sometimes it becomes impossible to attend every Union metting, to be kept up to date. This page will try to accomplish that.
That said, however, it is not the intention of this forum to replace General Meetings, but rather to supplement them. Your attendance at Union mettings is vital in insuring the democratic process, which is "Unionism"
IT is said that, "every journey begins with a first step", With your input and participation we can make this a successful one.
Fraternally yours
