Hello Brothers and Sisters,

The November General Meeting on Monday the 16th is an important one. Your Union needs you- to let your name stand for one of the Executive positions! Any interested members are strongly encouraged to attend, or submit a letter to accept a position if you can't attend. Nominations will be held at the general meeting. This is your chance to get involved and shape your Union.

Also, the November Forward Look is out. We're always looking for articles or letters from our Members.

See you at the General Meeting- 7pm!

In solidarity,
