Just a reminder that the listening session is tomorrow, September 14th at 7:15pm!

These are great opportunities to bring any issues, questions or concerns to your union because the only way union leadership is able to address issues is if they hear about them. This has been such a successful and effective format that our friends down at the Multnomah County Library System have used it as a model for their own!

Reminder that these sessions are open to all dues paying members of our union. If that doesn’t include you yet, you can easily join to strengthen both your voice AND the voice of the union itself.

Please look in your inbox for the message sent from c2everett@council2.com on Friday, August 28th for a link to the Zoom meeting.

Your union needs to hear from you!

A survey was sent out yesterday seeking your input, feedback and priorities about your health care coverage. Feedback to this survey is very important in establishing what your priorities are and determining critical opportunities for advocacy.

Check your email for a message from c2everett@council2.com sent yesterday evening for a link to the survey.

Please fill out the survey by 8am tomorrow, Thursday, September 10th. But due to the extremely tight deadline, submissions will be allowed after that time, as well.

The Council 2 Presidents Conference is just around the corner! And in spite of the name, this conference is not just open to our union president, but to all members in good standing. It’s a great place to connect to other union members from across the state and learn more about how your union functions.

This year’s event takes place in Tacoma at the Hotel Murano on October 9-11, and the last day to register is coming up quickly on September 18th. Check out the event details for more information!

A final agenda for the conference has not yet been released, but these events traditionally have a welcoming ceremony on the evening of the first day, while the second day is filled with conferences and training opportunities. The Council 2 executive board meeting will be held on the final day.

At the General Membership Meeting, the board authorized to pay for up to ten people to attend. This is a conference that must be attended on your own time, so once you are able to get the time off work, contact Local 1857’s board to make sure there is still a spot available before registering.
