Presidents Report:

March Madness, I am not speaking of Basketball but the heavy loads of passengers coming from then north and Canada to get some warm weather and a spring training game of their favorite team. The reports say that over 3,000,000 will travel to our area this Spring Break.

No matter what political party you support you would have to agree that Labor is under attack. I have been told that there are bills in TLH to reduce the state minimum wage to $6.15 an hour. In D.C. they talk of the deficit on one hand and then tax cuts for the wealthy, on the other.

Just recently a Service Company that works Delta flights have voted to join the IAM. I am hoping that the Delta Ramp will sign enough cards so that they can vote for Representation of the IAM.

Until next month,
