YOUR VOTE IS YOUR POWER
Pipefitters Local 537 Needs You to Register Prior to February 15, 2012.
Mail-in forms are available at the Union Hall, 35 Travis Street, Allston MA or at your local town clerk's office and the registry of Motor Vehicles.
Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Middle Class,
NOVEMBER 6th, 2012 is a VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION for the Middle Class and THE UNION WAY OF LIFE!
Your VOTE IS NEEDED for both the State Primary in September and the State elections in November!
If you want to keep our right to Bargain Collectively and our Union Wage Structure then you must VOTE in November!
If you benefit from the Union Wage Structure that negotiated your honest days wage for an honest days work then you must vote! If you treasure the safety provided from our own health care plan keeping hundred of thousands of people off of the National Health Plan. If you value our self funded Pension and Annuity which allows our members to retire with dignity...then you must VOTE!
There is a movement in this country to end our very existance! A movement to disband all Unions which for many, IS the gateway into the Middle Class.
This is not a Democrat issue, this is not a Republican issue....THIS IS A UNION ISSUE, THIS IS A 'BROTHERHOOD' ISSUE! The 'Brotherhood' of the Middle Class...and your brothers and sisters desperately need your vote in order to survive!
Register to VOTE prior to February 15th and then educate yourself on the issues that will directly effect your lives. VOTE ON THE ISSUES! Vote for the candidate who will protect your rights and your way of life!
We need to Vote for candidates who will protect and fight for the Middle class. Fight for our right to bargain collectively, fight to keep jobs in America, pass a jobs bill to put Labor back to work and close loop-holes and tax incentives that encourage and reward our industries for moving overseas! Vote in Candidates who no longer want to put the burden upon the backs of the Middle Class yet keep generous tax breaks for the wealthiest 1%. Vote for candidates who understand that during this challenging economic time, we can not put more Americans lives at risk by cutting Social Security and Medicare programs.
At the local level, we need our leaders to fight for 'Commonwealth Jobs for Commonwealth People'. People who when employed, support our schools, local businesses and our municipalities. We must end the influx of out of state, unlicensed labor brought in to do our work. Your Local Unions are educated and licensed in the latest safety standard; protecting your family and ours.
If you are a member of the middle class, then your vote is desperately needed. United, our votes are worth more than corporate dollars and wealthy CEO's...YOUR VOTE IS YOUR POWER!
Fraternally, Leo J. Fahey
Business Manager/ Financial Secretary Treasurer
