Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are beginning our third year of the Labor Coalition in Tompkins
and Cortland counties.

On Thursday evening, February 18 there will be a gathering to
celebrate and also to evaluate our coalition and to plan for the coming

PN ee eee

years. The evening is co-sponsored by the Cornell Industrial Labor
Relations Extension: we will hear short talks by Jim Morrissette, past
chair of the coalition and a member of the Cornell U. Security Employees
Union and Ed Ritchie, business agent for the Painters' local. Beer, ;
wine, and snacks will be provided and we will have a short meeting and
informal discussion afterwards.

This is your chance to give imput into the coalition agenda and to
meet officers and members of other area unions. If you are unable to attend
please delegate someone from your local. Even if you are coming, encourage
other interested members to join you.

A major coalition project - the plant closings bill - is still
very much opposed by Ithaca business people. We are determined to
see this legislation passed by the summer.

At our January meeting we agreed to fund a pilot issue of a labor
newspaper. The committee projects it to appear in early spring.

Let's talk about what else we can work on together!

In Solidarity,

A Movatepe Tins ) cy OX

for the Steering Committee

P.S. TUESDAY FEBRUARY 18, 7PM - Cornell ILR Conference Center (Garden & Tower).
