ILA President Hughes has directed that the names of all elected Wage Scale Committee delegates be submitted to the International no later than Monday December 15.

Local unions have also been notified that the International expects to receive submissions for Master Deepsea Contract demands no later than Monday December 15.

If your local has not yet announced a date for Wage Scale delegate elections, here’s how the Longshore Workers’ Coalition can help:

* Click here for a copy of the letter from Robert E. Gleason, ILA Sectretary-Treasurer informing all locals of the above. Take this letter to your local leadership. Also check your local union bylaws for nominations and election procedures.

* Click here for a flyer outlining key issues for the contract negotiations and information on how to become a Wage Scale Committee delegate and how to hold the Wage Scale Commitee accountable.

For more information, or help finding out whether your local is sending delegates to the Wage Scale Committee, call the LWC at 347-721-6112 or email marsha@lwcjustice.com.
