Brothers and Sisters of 503:

I have been in constant communication with President Scott while he’s been away on business. I’m writing you to bring attention to his agenda, as well as the responsibilities we all have as members of this Local.

For the past month or so, your President has been on the road for countless hours making the necessary political contacts and connections needed in his position on the Local, State and Federal levels. It’s extremely important that President Scott establish these political and business relationships in order to be successful at the difficult task of lobbying for Labor and the Members of Local 503.

At the time of this writing, President Scott is in Washington, DC. He will be going to Capitol Hill tomorrow, speaking to State Senators and other political leaders regarding Health Care and ‘The Employee Free Choice Act’ (see our link on the webpage for more information on this act).

He will be focusing on asking the important questions and addressing the rising concerns regarding the issues that have been affecting this Local since his election in 2008. It’s important that all realize he’s out there fighting for us at all times, wherever the fight takes him.

Our President's dedication to the membership is evident through his extensive time spent lobbying, requiring him to be away from the Union Hall. To assist him in these efforts, it's vital that every member seek guidance, protection and representation from the Shop Stewards appointed by this administration before having to involve our Officers. We need President Scott dedicating his full attention to fighting the fight for all of us, leaving it up to our Stewards to take care of business here on the home front!
