Letter Carriers Gather Even More Food for the Needy

The NALC nationally is approaching 1M pounds of food from their drive. In North Texas Local Union #132 NALC, they got 130,000 lbs. President Mickey Morris says that the City of Dallas increased 8%, but the outlying areas were up 53%!

Dallas AFL-CIO has a new web site: http://tx.aflcio.org/dallasclc

The site is "syndicated" so that both the local and the national organizations can post information. Although Dallas is first, every AFL-CIO council in America will soon share this very efficient format. People can also sign up for labor's news blurbs. The Dallas AFL-CIO Labor Day Breakfast will fall on September 1 this year. Jobs with Justice usually makes an effort to bring labor's many allies to this event to share the celebration.
