ICWU Organizing Department Grows!

I am pleased to announce that we now have four full time Organizers working for the Council.  Dorys Arriaza, who lives on the west coast, and Mayra Morillo, who lives near Chicago, both have been on staff for close to six months.  They are currently assigned to the UFCW helping on a campaign with National Beef in Kansas.  Hector Gerardo and George Ortiz were hired in mid-September and reside in New York City.  They will be attending UFCW Organizer training at the end of September and early October.  All four have years of experience organizing with other Unions and will provide the ICWUC with the expertise that we need to grow and make our Council even stronger.

We have extended the Organizing Rewards Program.  Letters reminding our Locals about the program were recently mailed from headquarters.  We pay for successful organizing leads.  An organizing lead that brings us 100 or more members will receive $1,000.00, 50-99 members $750.00 or 49 or less members $500.00.  This is a great way for our members or their families and friends to help grow our Union.

I would like to expand our presence with Companies that we already represent.  If you know of a Non-Union site with a Company that we represent, please pass the information on.  How many times during the negotiation process have we heard about the Non-Union facility down the road?  Again, if you know of a Non-Union facility, please pass the information on as our four new Organizers are always looking for more targets. 

The ICWUC Organizing Department looks forward to growing the Council and the UFCW!
