Removed as Union Steward

Today I received a letter from Teamsters Local 320 Principle Officer Sue Mauren, removing me as a union steward. I want to thank all of you who have elected me to represent you as a union steward for over 12 years and most recently as a delegate to the 2011 Teamsters Convention. 


I have worked hard all these years to represent you and to improve our profession.  


I look forward to running as a union steward again under the Minnesota Public Employees Association.


In solidarity,
Wade Laszlo

Happy Labor Day

Labor Day is the day the United States honors it's workers. In 2011 things seem to have gotten worse for U.S. workers. Our right to collective bargaining is under attack, things as basic as sick time use are under attack and the very Unions born out of the last century's labor struggles have grown into large corporate style behemoths too often in bed with the government, corporations, and employers that have forgotten their roots and too often only view their members as a source of income for their overblown salaries.

Let's remember our roots this Labor Day and take back the Labor movement that is rightfully ours! We are the Union, in solidarity we stand!
