We can help ourselves not only by being vocal to each other and to be heard within our community, we must get our elected officials to hear us at all levels. So many issues that involve labor have been left to deaf ears in politics and it is time to let those ears open up and hear our concerns. We have the strength to fix our problems and our strength is a powerful tool. That tool is to vote! What was said in this column is so true.

If this is really the case, is there some reason the lovelies in charge of our so-called "representation" couldn't have simply said that to begin with rather than let people get all lathered up over the crappy TA and those who chose to bring it back contrary to what was promised? People can handle the truth, even though painful, much easier than they will tolerate lies or lying by omission as seems to be standard operating procedure - it's an unfortunate thing our "leadership" hasn't learned this yet.

We the membership have bought tickets for the deceased members toolbox to aid this family in their time of need. This is the second membership meeting that there has been an oversight, and the family has not recieved our aid. But that toolbox looks good in the corner! Hope they didn't recieve the same comment I did in their time of sorrow. It’s sad that we have had a member pass away some time ago with no death certificate issued.
