September 2008

It is hard to believe Summer '08 has come and gone. What did we do?


Personnally, I survived another 10 and under girls softball season.


What has the Union done? This Summer, 8 of your elected delegates went to the international Convention in San Francisco. Mike Neafsey and JT Gould are going to make a presentation at the September 30, 2008 membership meeting.


Local 2456 continues to work with OA on the Agency IT shops being merged into the OA-OIT shop. The current Agencies being merged are PSP, PHMC and OCG. We have yet to see any adverse effects of these mergers on any of our members.


Another project I am hoping to start is a letter writing campaign to our members who are on long term active duty. If someone who works with you is being placed in an active duty status, give us a call. We will do all we can to support them during their tour.


I would love to see you at the Local meeting. Please don't let your lack of a baby sitter be the reason you don't show up, I love to see Union Families, not just Union Members at our meeting. These children are the Union Members of tomorrow.


In Solidarity ~
