There are two words in the English vocabulary that are rarely used. It’s a phrase we don’t say very often and take it for granted.  The phrase is “thank you”.

So to all my brother and sisters who walked the line for me and built this union the way it is today, I say “thank you” for everything you have done. 

Now I call upon my young brothers and sisters to answer the call and stand up for this union.  The labor movement across this country is fading fast.  It’s up to us now to put life back into it.  I have been involved with the union since day one.  For fifteen years I have been jumping at opportunities to help out in any way I could.  The only problem was it was the same group of us helping out.  For to long the young membership has sat back and reaped the benefits of this local.

We are facing some tough times ahead.  Do not rely on just me and our group to pull us ahead.  We need your help.  Together we can bring the comradery back and be close as we were before.  Though we faded apart it is not too late.  As the Futures representative on the Greater Boston Labor Council for Local 2222 I strongly urge you to get involved, come to the union, futures, and cope meetings to see how you can help out. 

Let’s not let down our brothers and sisters before us, let’s make them proud

Fraternally Yours,
