Our agenda for the future...

I want to meet with all officers of the Union and the E-Board, as soon as possible, to set up individual duties and responsibilities of each requirement of office, to insure total transparency and accountability to the membership!

1.Assign each officer a current list of monthly duties and requested achievements.
2.Provide formal training for each Union Officer and Steward as required, to be successful. Want to be a Steward ? Write a grievance! We will train you !
3.Make all monthly lunchtime meetings work, so that more members will attend, by modifying Robert ‘s Rules and switching over to an agenda list, sent out in advance by email, and by settling all issues at our meetings, within 30 minutes flat.
4.Move ALL Union lunchtime meetings into the MWR Waterfront Rec. Center (Club Metro) Bldg. 45, when space is available in their conference room (BYLAW CHANGE). The Crew House can cater lunch, during these meetings.
5.Introduce all new members and have them take the Union pledge at monthly meetings,
6.Use the Union email system to provide more pay, benefits, and Union related news, to educate and inform the membership on the latest issues and concerns.
7.Make the Union offices in Bldg. 76, more accessible to the membership.

Marketing of Local 32
The sole purpose of marketing of our Local is to present to management a visual representation designed to create a sense of solidarity among the Union membership! Ideas to increase everyday visibility:

1.Hold a contest to create a new Local 32 logo/icon!
2.Create a Union website, ie: http://www.ifpte.org or http://www.ifpte.com/ , Sample URL: http://www.IFPTE_Local32.com
3.Union trinkets, IE: T-shirts, jackets, business cards, coffee cups, lanyards, pins, bumpers stickers, decals, etc. Example: Tiger Eye Design (800) 844-3739, Website: http://www.tigereyedesign.com/union_products.html
4.Union Bulletin Boards, in every major building. Provide a Union presentation at In-Doc. for new employees. ALL members have a current membership card.
5.Offer a head hunter fee, for signing up new members, to increase membership from the current 23% of total BYUs, to at least 50% in two years.
6.Annual Union picnic or dinner, for members and family.
7.Create a local coalition of Federal Unions, AFGE, IFPTE, IFF, NAGE, etc. for Federal Employees, in the San Diego area.
