Convention resolutions are a start but they are not enough. We can judge the progress of our union by the following:

Communication: We must have constant information about what the union plans to do during bargaining. With feedback from the membership.

Corporate Campaign: We no longer bargain with shipping interests, we are bargaining with banks and pension funds. We must know how these corporations operate and how to affect their bottom line if we want justice. This info must be shared with members

Member Action: Members must be prepared to fight for justice on the dock, in the media and in the corporate board rooms. We must start early and never let up. The LWC will be there.
