“Focusing within is not about ignoring the world around us. Rather, it is about looking inward to strengthen our Local.”

As we all know, there are hundreds of good causes out there that we should and do support, participating both as individuals and as members of various groups. For better or for worse, our current leadership has led us to be activists in many of these causes. This has dissipated the union’s energies on too many peripheral issues. To rebuild our strength we need to change our focus and
look inward.

The members of our Local are a diverse group with many interests and beliefs. Recently, in discussions on the Executive Board and in our conversations with individual members, we have seen how our activism on certain issues has alienated elements of our membership at a time when we can least
afford it.

It is our perspective that the Local has many unresolved internal issues that need to be addressed if we are to move forward. It is time to look inward and strengthen the foundation of our Local. Many of our members either don’t believe they have a voice, or that it is not being heard. We need to listen, address their concerns and thereby strengthen the whole. Within these pages is our vision how we can accomplish these goals. We hope you will join us.
