Sean Lynch, the local's Legislative Action Committee treasurer, and Donna Cramer, District Six political action co-chairperson, have worked closely with the unions representing state store employees. Amalgamated Local 690 circulated petitions in both Reid Plastics in Leetsdale and Kenson Plastics in Warrendale. Several Kenson workers enthusiastically welcomed the petitions because they personally know people who work in state liquor stores, said Local Vice Pres. Thompson encouraged use of the District Six resolution with the petitions as an educational tool. Local 690 participated in a Beaver County Labor Council meeting with representatives from the state store unions.
Privatization means unionbusting.
Privatization means the destruction of jobs at family-supporting wages. More than 4,000 workers would lose their jobs to privatization. PLCB profits help fund the Pennsylvania State Police and other state agencies. There is less public accountability with privatization . UE District Six opposes this attack on family-supporting jobs and urges all locals and members to register their opposition with their legislators.
