Update:

A vote was conducted at the IBT Convention today to remove the 2/3rds rule from the IBT Constitution. The majority voted YES to remove the 2/3rds rule. Now, the IBT can no longer force contracts on members.

This rule really effected UPS Teamsters in the last several contracts. Now, it's up to those members to get loud, active, and prepare for the next contract. These members can win strong contracts!

1447 Yes to 102 No.

It's Saint Patrick's Day!

Workers First Slate! wants to provide you with some union history to mix up your day. Food for thought! Let's look at an Irish born immigrant who became an American labor leader and helped fight for rights you enjoy today.

Mary G. Harris Jones, known as Mother Jones was born in 1837 in Cork Ireland. "Her energy and passion inspired men half her age into action and compelled their wives and daughters to join in the struggle. If that didn’t work, she would embarrass men to action. "I have been in jail more than once and I expect to go again. If you are too cowardly to fight, I will fight."

Have a good day!
