Brothers and Sisters,
Thank you, to every one who has helped out our fellow brother Steve Woods in any way. The Bradenton work center had a Benefit Fund raiser of behalf of Steve and his family that raised over $400.00. Brother Mike Thornton and his wife Patti were instrumental in putting the event on and I would like to personally say thank you. Steve is doing well, but still has a long road to recovery ahead of him. It has been encouraging to see all the support he has been given, especially from the members who have not had the pleasure of meeting Steve yet. This has been a testament of what union is all about.
Attendance at unit meetings for July was up considerably, which is very encouraging. If you attended your unit last month, thank you, if not - please make plans to come in August and bring a brother or sister with you. As we all know, we are less than a year away from contact negotiations and we need to be unified well before then.
It has been an honor serving the membership as a Business Representative for the last month and I look forward to working with and for the entire membership in the future. You can contact me at the Union Hall (813) 626.5136 or (800) 233.4239. You can also email me at dalfonso

In Solidarity,
Danny Alfonso
