Director Region 2B, UAW>ClO
OUR FUTURE

While we greet 1916 in spirit Of hope
and wish that it would bring for all the work.
opportunity to live life more abundant
ly, we are aware of the forces which oppose
US and recognize that our fight for economic
justice cannot be by wishful thinking.
In thiJ spirit and because of the increased
seriousness of the economic crisis facing the
country, we have made arrangements for
regional meeting to be held in Lima, Jan. 5.
The situation which we of labor face is as
dangerous any which has ever threatened
Our whole future, the very life of our or
ganization itself is at stake, We cannot close
our eyes to reality, but must meet the crisis in
unity and with the determination to over
come the obstacles which are placed in our
path.
SOLIDARITY
Those who remember the struggles which
had when first organized will recall
that won the right to organize and
gained recognition because of our solidarity.
Today, again up against crisis which
calls for the same unselfish unity, the will
ingness to sidetrack our personal feelings in
a united effort to win the right to live under
decent conditions with a voice in our own
destiny
Make no mistake about it, we are in one
of the greatest fights of our existence The
struggle against the General Motors Corpora
ton is but one sign of the opposition with
which we faced in struggle for ade-
quate living wages and the protection of the
consuming public of which we are an impor-
tant part.
1t is because of this constant fight which
we of organized labor must make in order to
not only maintain living standards, but to
continue to exist as an organization that am
taking this opportunity to urge all who
possibly do SO to attend the Jan. 5 meeting in
Lima Your presence will add to the unity of
the Auto Workers in this region and through
out the country and demonstrate that we are
not only interested in our future welfare, but
that we are determined to do something about
it.
GREETINGS
Finally want to wish all the officers and
members of the Union and our friends
Happy New Year, realizing as 1 do so that
happiness is not gift, but must be won by
those who seek it.
We can end 1946 we'll advanced upon the
road to progress leading to greater social gains
and more security only by uniting ourselves
in the fight against the forces of reaction who
even now are plotting and acting to weaken
and destroy us.
We can win happiness this year by having
the courage and determination to fight for the
things which we believe are right and never
surrender to those whose main interest in
life is to return us to the days when we were
weak and disorganized group of workers.
l am hopeful that this will be a Happy
New Year for you and yours.
