The Local is happy to announce that the merger has been APPROVED by all four Local memberships.  This merger will become effective upon approval of the National Executive Board.  Thank you to all who participated in sending in your ballot.  We know that this will make us stronger and more effective for the fights ahead.  As we go through the process of completing the merger and prepare for upcoming elections in the fall, please contact the Local to ensure your information is correct.  This is a bold step in the right direction to deal with the many changes that we have all seen.  More information will follow.
