Labor Day Parade – Join in and show your support of IFT 1836 and other local unions at the East Moline Labor Day Parade from 10am – 11am. Those participating will meet in the John Deere Harvester Works parking lot: 1100 13th Avenue, East Moline, IL by 9:30. We need a pick-up truck and volunteers to make signs to put on the truck (we can use magnets to put the sign on the truck). We will have candy to throw to the crowd. Contact Nan Reddy at reddyn@bhc.edu or 309-737-4522 if you would like to help out. Afterwards you can attend the 48th Annual Salute to Labor Chicken Fry at Illiniwek Park, Rt 84 Hampton IL. There will be tons of Family Fun with Bounce Houses for the Kids! Serving 11:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. with the drawdown taking place at approximately 3:00 p.m. Chicken Fry tickets may be purchased at the event. Tickets are $10.00 for Adults and $6.00 for Children 12 & under.
UNION LIAISONS
What is the most effective form of communication? Face to face of course! In order to increase communication and solidarity throughout the college (all campuses and buildings) we would like to create a Network of Liaisons. Information that needs to be sent around will be given to liaisons to pass around face to face in their work area. The more liaisons, the better! We could have a liaison that covers just one department, or one floor or one building. This is a great opportunity for those of you that would like to be more involved but don’t think you have the time or for those of you who feel like you understood the union better. Date and time of meeting is TBA. Please contact Nan Reddy at 309-796-5161 or reddyn@bhc.edu or Joan Eastlund at 309-796—5424 or Eastlundj@bhc.edu if you would like to find out more information.
