                      COMET CLASS MEMBERSHIP TRAINING

     All journeymen are invited to attend a COMET TRAINING SESSION at our UNION HALL. This is a good time to train  our members in various ways that can help our local with the challenges we face in the future. We need our members to become activists and receive training to help combat the non-union in our area. It is only 1 day of your time. This is very important to the future of our local an d to the standard of living for our members and their families. I will be sending out letters that explain this in more detail.

A date will be set when we have enough members sign up to attend. We are stronger when we all become involved and work together. If you are interested in helping your union become stronger and better, please contact me, Tim Trujillo, at the Hall, 248-474-7553 or 248-231-5824

     A speedy recovery to all our sick and injured members.
