GCC/IBT Local 140-N Blog
Union Delegates from newspapers across the US and Canada joined in Scottsdale Arizona earlier this week to discuss the current state of their respective papers and deliver reports on their home Locals.
I will post a full report shortly and provide details of our efforts at the Conference to insure our members continue to stand a fighting chance against greedy Corporations!
In solidarity,
President, Pineda.
Women have made immeasurable contributions to the Labor Movement; mostly in the shadows of the male union leadership.
Not Dolores Huerta! Her work and service for immigrant farmworkers has not gone unnoticed and is only second to Cesar Chavez.
Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta founded the UFW and she continues to fight for the rights of working men and women all across America!
Dolores Huerta will be among 13 recipients to receive the Presidential Medal Of Freedom from President Barak Obama.
Congratulations Mrs.Huerta for the honor you so deserve for the sacrifices you've made to benefit a multitude of others.

Teamster Local 630 President/Trustee, Randy Korgan and I discussed the possibility of using Local 630, located at 750 Stanford Ave. L.A. 90021 for our Local's business. President Korgan stated that we may use the Hall FREE OF CHARGE and that our schedule does not conflict with their use of the Hall.
This is great news and we look forward to holding our first meeting there on April 28, 2012 to announce results of the ongoing election.
Teamster Local 630 is located between 7th & 8th streets on Stanford just west of the Oly plant.
Special Thanks to Randy, Local 630's Executive Board and especially the members of Local 630 from GCC/IBT Local 140-N!
Los Angeles Times Pressman, Romel Aspiras suffered a heart attack several days ago while visiting family and was unresponsive at the time he was hospitalized.

We will hold our meeting once again at Crowne Plaza Commerce Casino.
There is plenty to discuss including upcoming nominations and elections for Local 140n Officer, Executive Board member positions and shop stewards.
Only members can nominate, accept a nomination or vote in Local Elections. Beck Objectors waive their right to participate in Local Elections.
I look forward to a well attended meeting.
