UNION MEETINGS - IMPORTANT NOTE:

Every time you miss a meeting and leave other members to look for your interests, you are doing an injustice to yourself and the UNION. Your views should be brought to the membership for discussion. The only way this can happen is for you to be at the meeting. Go to Union meetings regularly and encourage the younger members to do the same. Because one important thing to remember is the meaning of the saying,

"UNITED WE STAND; DIVIDED WE FALL."

Union Meetings are
1^st and 3^rd Wednesday 8 pm at the Union Hall

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
KEEP WORKING SAFELY.
