Welcome to our web site!  We have built this web site to provide a more efficient communication channel for our unit members so that they may become better informed about union activities.  This web site can be used as an educational tool and as a means to answer some of the frequently asked questions that members often have. 

The web site contains such information as your union contract, current union news, Representative Council meeting dates (under calendar), names of union leaders and their numbers, salary schedules, frequently requested phone numbers, and much more.  We hope that you will use this web site to educate yourselves about your contractual rights as this site was built with you in mind.
