This mailing will be followed up with phone calls to some of the businesses to discuss employment needs and ways in which the labor community might encourage the creation of good paying jobs in this area. This mailing will further the Coalition's efforts to achieve our Objective #2, "To attempt to determine if any Ithaca area business is con- sidering a plant shutdown or sudden "major" workforce reduction within the next 1-5 years." At this point, it should be noted that the Ithaca Post Office is considering the elimination of 45-50 jobs from the Ithaca area. (See enclosed article.) The Coalition is in contact with the American Postal Workers Union which is monitoring the situation and attempting to determine the necessity of such an action. If you have any questions regarding the enclosed mailing please call me as soon as possible. Sincerely; Coert Bonthius, TCLC Staffperson TOMPKINS / CORTLAND cc: All Common Council Members LABOR COALITION Mayor Gutenberger 109 W. State St. All ih 9 tear Committee Ithaca, N. Y. 14850 607:277-5670
