The report of the President follows. This is an opportunity for the President to report to the membership on issues that are of importance to the Union. Generally, members may offer motions or seek clarification from the President on the issues reported. The Vice President s report is the next order of business. Again, this affords the opportunity to present to the Union membership the issues and activities of the vice president.
Motions are in order as well as clarification of the report.
The Recording Secretary-Treasurer s report follows the Vice President. As an example of what is contained within my report, I offer a few items from the April 12 th Regular Union meeting. The Executive Board affirmed the motion approved at the March Regular Union meeting to grant retired Brother James Fossos Lifetime membership in Local 27. The Executive Board approved the contract with Support Services, Inc. to conduct the 2001 Holiday insert in The Third Rail publication. The Fire Festival for year 2001 has been cancelled due to earthquake damage in Pioneer Square.
