Following Are 10 Ways To Kill A Union:
1. Don't come to meetings
2. But if you do come, arrive late
3. If the weather doesn't suit you, you don't come
4. If you do attend a meeting, find fault with the work of
the officers and other members
5. Never accept an office; it's easier to criticize than to do things
6. Nevertheless, get sore if you are not appointed on a committee;
but if you are appointed, do not attend the committee meetings
7. If asked by the president to give your opinion on an important matter,
tell him you have nothing to say. Then after the meeting, tell everyone
how things should be done
8.Do nothing more than is absolutely necessary, but when other members toll up
their sleeves, willingly and unselfishly using their ability to help matters
along...howl that the union is being run by a clique.
9. If your local is struggling from a financial standpoint to maintain offices
in you behalf, be sure to muster up all the help you can to vote against a dues raise.
10. Don't bother about new members; let the other fellow do it.
ASK: "Could this be me?" Let's save a union... do something positive!

Is Retirement in Your Future???
Whether you are planning to retire in six months, six years, or if retirement is too far ahead to contemplate, it is never too late to keep good records. Saving check stubs, date books, and copies of your employment records are just some of the ways to avoid confusion involving start dates and employers. Think about creating a job history folder to keep track of where you've worked. It may come in handy and make the process much easier on you.
