URGENT! VOTERS NEEDED! As you may have read in last months issue of the Focus 1947 newsletter, the election for delegates to the Grand Lodge Convention is coming up on May 10th. In the past, only about 15-20% of the members voted in union elections. This is sad, as the delegates that are elected will decide on many important issues that will affect all of us over the next four years. One of the issues is a proposal to change the way you pay your union dues. Right now, everyone pays the same amount, regardless of your pay rate. The new proposal would change it so that you would pay dues based on a percentage of your pay. Is this an important issue to you? If so, you need to come and vote for the candidates that believe the same way as you do. A lot of people are hesitant to come and vote for a variety of reasons. They might feel that they have not been members long enough to know what is going on, or they might just not care. But this is YOUR future that is being decided, and the decisions that these delegates make will affect YOU. Don't you want to have a say in who makes decisions about your future? There are 22 nominees running for 6 available positions. There is a list of the nominees on page 2 of this months newsletter. Take some time to get to know them and what their positions are, and then come and vote on May 10th for the candidates that you feel will best represent what you want to see in our union's future. These delegates will decide the direction the I.A.M. will take over the next 4 years. The only way you can choose the candidates that will make good decisions for our future is to vote! The elections will be held at the union all, 50 E. Bank St. here in Fond du Lac, from 6AM to 8PM on may 10th. Hope to see you all there! In Solidarity, Kally Matezvich
